Let me begin by saying that the men I know are not like this at all...NOW.  However, they have had these types of moments and I laughed then, just like I laughed reading this story.  The fact that wives can laugh and move on and husbands grumble while still trying to be helpful has given the laughing couples silver and gold wedding anniversaries.  (That is 25 and 50 years together for the DWH who must look at the date inscribed in their wedding ring so as not to mess up.)I would love to see DWH vs. First Solo Afternoon With Baby.  Our friend had a tiny little boy who came premature and suffered with cholic.  After 3 weeks of being constantly with the baby, Mom was gifted with a long afternoon out with her sisters.  My husband and I happened along about one hour into this adventure with a six-pack of beer and plans to see the baby while also watching some football or just chatting.  We found our new dad sitting on the floor in the entryway to their home bawling.  This is a big guy, way over 6 feet tall, athletic, smart, climbing the corporate ladder reduced to - well - me...a small little girl who is very sensitive and cries so easily that I keep Kleenex in my purse at all times.Turns out baby woke 20 minutes after Mom left and Dad could not figure out what to do for him.  In desperation, Dad gave himself a time out and left baby crying in the crib while he tried to pull himself together.  My husband took Dad and the beers to the den, and I headed to the nursery.  Order was restored within 5 minutes.  When baby was calm, I carried him to the rocking chair in the den and rocked him to sleep while visiting with our friend.That little baby is an adult today and I am looking forward to the day when he becomes a Dad.  I have found a great store that imports some wonderful beers as well as two local breweries that bottle and sell their own wonderful elixers.  I will put an excellent six pack on ice when I hear about a new baby.  There will be one change in the lineup.  This time, I get to sit and calm Dad while my husband gets the baby.  Turned out that my hubby was pretty spectacular at calming down our daughters.
