No, my husband isn?t helping me by getting up in the middle of the night for feedings. He isn?t helping me by changing diapers or fixing bottles. He isn?t even helping me by installing car seats or playing with our sweet baby. What my husband is doing, is taking care of our baby along with me. He?s changing diapers because diapers need to be changed. He?s staying up late for midnight feedings because, well, the baby needs to be fed. He?s rocking him to sleep, not because he?s ?helping? me, but because this is his baby too! He's being a parent.
