We were discussing DH and the way I think he copes or rather doesn't cope with dds while I am at work.

Don't get me wrong, he can look after them, if watching them is all he has to do.

He couldn't do a shop with them as he struggles getting them dressed and leaving the house. And if anything unexpected happens all hell breaks loose.

I know this from when I am in the house but having a lie in busy doing other things.

He has to shout me to come and deal with them. Dd1 says all he does while I am not there is shout and hold his head saying "I can't cope"

My mum said "Oh I think he does really well. Don't forget he is a man. You can't expect him to organise things. When I worked your little sister had to take a day of nursery each week because your dad couldn't get her there"

So because he is a man, he shouldn't be expected to call at the shops to get a dress for dd to wear on her weekend away, because he is a man and shouldn't be expected to manage?
