No. dh bathed and changed dds as much as ds. As dds got older he did less; now he does not go in the bathroom if a dd is in there, whereas I might. But they are in secondary school now.

Agree with Twiglett.

i had the same thought as twiglett and catsmother. and id want to make absolutely certain that there was absolutely nothing to that.

if it is pure laziness, well. id be unspeakably angry with someone who allowed me to go without decent sleep night after night for months on end for the simple reason hes a selfish lazy git.

my dp is much older than me too. so bloody what? shouldnt have children if youre not prepared to look after them.

DH has always done nappies for both dd and ds. He feels uncombable bathing the kids though. However I lurve bath time so it's not an issue in this house. DD is now 5 and he gets wound up and tells her off if she decides to leg it round the house in the nude as he thinks it is wrong. He also tells me to get dressed or cover up rather than wandering across the landing in the buff if I want a shower in the morning.

nighty night good point

perhaps it might be as much about op's dp's attitude to women in general.

if he has to acknowledge the vulnerability of his baby d's body, he might find his attitude to grown women untenable iyswim
