look after him. I know my partner is only being nice but honestly,i've been out since my little one was born and the whole time i was out i felt uncomfortable and worried and was missing my baba. When i tell him i don't want to go out he has a go at me and gets really snappy. Comments for Post (10) If I were you I'd agree to go out, even just for a couple hours? Have you considered that he may want you to go out so that he can have one time alone with the baby himself? Sometimes men aren't confident with caring for the baby when we are around because they know we think we can do it better than they can. I know I used to be guilty of undermining my husband and it really brought his confidence level down when I would criticise how he was putting on nappies, making up bottles, winding the baby etc. Perhaps he just wants a wee bit of space to be daddy? (...and you never know, you might actually have fun and be thanking him later!) I haven't had my baby yet but my boyfriend keeps mentioning that after baby arrives andA I have nights out with the girls again he'll be staying in with baby and already I'm thinking - eh no I won't be leaving my baby I'll be too busyA playing Mum and enjoying my familyA lol I think the men who say these things
