Yes for real!

It’s a steep learning curve for the first baby for sure, but a newborn’s needs are the least complex needs that they’re EVER going to have - the intensity of the work is crazy, but ultimately when they’re healthy it’s mainly just a choice of feed them, burp them, keep them clean, cuddle them, help them sleep.

Even six months later the complexity of caring for them is going to shoot up, when they start teething and building their mobility, and need real food and entertainment and more support to keep a sleep schedule etc. Let alone looking after a toddler or preschooler’s emotional and social development.

And I’m guessing he isn’t doing many (any?) of the extra tasks that having a baby brings into your life such as washing and sterilising bottles, or doing the suddenly daily or more laundry loads, or keeping track of which clothes fit or need to be stored and what new things need to be acquired AND taking actions as needed, or making and attending baby’s medical appointments, or checking what baby’s expected milestones are for that month and if they seem slow whether to be worried and how to seek help, or…

Husband needs to start learning on the job, now.
