He'd do just fine. Baby would be fed and happy, maybe a bit tired as she doesn't sleep as well for him. The house would be messy, but he's not great about picking up after himself to begin with. He wouldn't ask any questions, and would do this things differently than I would, but it doesn't matter as long as baby's well cared for.
-
He's the SAHD, so, there wouldn't be any issues. The state of the house would be a crapshoot depending on how wild the girls got...which would be no different if I was the one home with them.
-
FI solo parents every Sunday, and I have never got any questions. He always does great!
-
I'd come home to a baby in a disposable diaper instead of cloth, but the house would probably be cleaner than if I had been the one with her. She's more willing to sleep without being held when I'm not around.
-
@regberadaisy: this is exactly like my DH! It's so annoying
But seriously, I don't know how he does it.
-
Not really any questions, but the state of the house might be questionable lol.
-
DH has had LO solo on Monday nights this semester and I always come home to find all the toys picked up. I often make a plate for LO's dinner before I leave, but if I didn't it's no big deal. He doesn't need any special instructions!
-
It's no issue at all - I've been able to leave them alone since very early on. DH makes a point to
not call when I'm out, even if there's drama. After I complained about the house being like a bomb site whenever I went out, it's definitely tidier nowadays -
@jlm22: @regberadaisy: THIS! He puts me to shame. He is home on pat leave with our DD now and he gets sooooo much more done then I ever could. I swear he employs elves to help get everything done
-
DH has been left alone with DS since day one and has never had any problems.
-
He solo parents every other Friday, and does a great job of it, but for some reason it bothers me that he rarely takes our son out, they just play at home either in the backyard or inside. He has never been a man who is comfortable going out by himself (to meals, activities, etc) and this has now extended to him and our son. When I have him at home for the day (the alternate friday) we are out all morning, barely make it home for nap and then out again all afternoon, I would go nuts at home but my husband *might* make it to the store. The house is in great shape and my son is happy as anything, loves his daddy!
-
He would be just fine! Yeah house might be messy if he cooks and such too, but I can live with that
-
DH can solo parent just as well as I. As she's gotten older and he's started to nail the Daddy thing even more, I am super impressed to find the house cleaner than I left it.
-
He spends as much or more time with him as I do so he wouldn't need instructions! But he's always messy so the house would be a mess.
-
DH would have a lot of questions and would probably text or call me a lot. He would try and after the chaos slowed he would be fine. He has never been the solo parent to both boys.
-
Oh dear, I think he'd do fine but LO2 is four months and he still hasn't had the two alone except for one hour when I had mastitis.
-
Oh he's more than capable. Always has been and he's never called when I've been out other than once when he couldn't find the sleep sack.
He's his parent just as much as I am.
-
The kids would have probably eaten something I don't approve of and the house would be a wreck, but he would be able to manage.
-
He does it. The house looks like a bomb went off after but the kids are happy and fed. He would need to ask me when the 11mo needs milk (since he still nurses) but otherwise knows the drill.
But seriously, I don't know how he does it.
