When your SO is hanging with LO/taking care of LO do you engage them or just let them have their space?
-
I like to mix it up but in the early months I think it's especially important to give them space because its so much mommys starring role and daddy needs all the chances he can get.
-
I let them do their thing.
Eta: I use this time to shower, cook dinner, nap etc...
-
A little of both. SO usually gets up with him on the weekend and I use that time to sleep. If we're all just hanging out together though, I'll still engage LO.
-
I'd say a mixture of both, I try to engage them in an activity - it's usually while I'm trying to cook dinner and lo just wants me to hold her so I try to distract both of them by getting them to do an activity together eg. coloring or something. At other times I just let them do their thing.

A bit of both. I like Daddy to be the main focus but I think seeing us together is important too.
-
I let them do their thing unless they are laughing a lot, and then I have to get in on it, too.
-
Both! Give them space but also end up doing family time.

I let them do their thing and i get some alone time!
