My husband’s not particular about brands and the specifics of the baby stuff, so I’m actually really happy to be the one to research and choose what I like for baby. Haha. But I did ask my husband to watch youtube videos on baby care (since he was on youtube anyway) while I was pregnant.
Anyway, it’s always good to have good discussions on how both of you will work together to take care of baby. It’s up to you whether to delegate roles or to do things together. My husband’s the stay at home dad, so he’s really hands on with our kids. And he will tell me if he feels we need to buy something that will help take care of the kids better. Both of us are very different and have our own styles in taking care of the kids.. haha. Sometimes the styles clash, sometimes they’re complementary. But we work through the issues. And yes, he still uses his phone and computer a lot. That DOES NOT change after the baby is born, so if you have any issues with your husband’s use of devices, you need to discuss it now. Also, fathers do need their personal time, and they need affirmation and respect too, just as mothers want appreciation, love, and rest/help during the journey of motherhood.
Pregnancy and having a baby is so much more than just about the baby 😅 It changes your entire life, and your marriage too.
