I'm a single mum, and throughout most of my dd's first year I spent the time thinking things would be so much easier if I had a dp I could share it all with, and also unashamedly () looking forward to when me & my boyf would have a baby of our own and he would finally realise what it was I had had to go through.
But the more I hear & read, in spite of so many people saying "I don't know how you manage!", the more I realise that must have all been a pipe dream, and in fact I was probably better off doing it all alone!
What are your experiences? Does a father have to be a SAHD before he can really empathise with what hard work it is?
