Home and family, Paternity
6 things that fathers of two children should know
Most likely, your wife does not have the opportunity to get a whole team of assistants and nannies, who will help her cope with the baby. Her only hope is the father of the newborn and her husband. During the first birth the partner usually accompanies the woman and contacts with all the specialists who care about her, and then the spouses can go home. At home, the father can exhale with relief, because he does not need to breast-feed or do something like that. But when a second child appears, the pope, as a rule, does not have to spend much time in the hospital. He must take care of the first-born. By this point, each father should already know how to help the mother and how to control the first child while taking care of the second. In the end, the mother can look perfect when she reads the book to the first child and at the same time feeds the second one, but she is not a superhero - she needs to relax, too. So all men who have children should remember these important truths if they want to make the marriage happier.
Do not complain to his wife about fatigue
She knows. It's obvious that you are tired. No one in the family can boast of energy when it only recently had a second baby. But her husband should remember that this wife was pregnant for nine months, suffered childbirth and now brings up both the older child and the baby. Dad is also not easy, but not in comparison with mom. If you want to complain - please, but only share emotions with your wife. Talk about fatigue to your dog, child, waiter, anyone. Only not his wife! She, in any case, is much harder, so making her listen to complaints will simply be unfair.
Do not forget to take care of your wife
If you eat a sandwich, do the second for the wife. Taking care of the baby is not easy, there is not enough time, and there simply can not be any forces to prepare the dinner. If her husband was not around, the woman would be able to survive by simply eating something from the refrigerator. But the fact that she can do this does not mean that she should. If the husband is preparing dinner for himself, it is worth doing a helping-of-the-day for his wife. This applies to a cup of tea: if the husband plans to drink tea, he should immediately make it for his beloved.
A wife can envy every opportunity to take a shower or go out without a baby
A mother should always be with a child, so sometimes she has to envy her husband, who can just go to work. Maybe she will not complain, but she will still feel envy. Of course, any mom loves her child, like her husband, but when you are fiddling with your baby all day, your muscles ache from the fact that you need to lift one child, then another, and even the whole body is tired after giving birth, so you want to do Break ... So the husband should try to create for his wife free time, so she could take a shower and work out something different from raising children. Even an hour a day can play a huge role for the well-being of a woman, so it is a husband's duty to provide this time.
A husband should control the rest time of all family members
Watch how many people are asleep. You know that a new mother needs a deep sleep. Check that your wife gets enough sleep, if you want her to be healthy, happy and feel your care.
If a man takes leave to care for a child, he must take care of the child
This vacation is not a chance to catch up on everything that you can not do at the usual time. So forget about the Internet and beer with friends, reduce extraneous matters to a minimum and deal only with the child. All cases can wait.
Do not come home with an empty cup of coffee
It's just an ugly act! Of course, Mom may not be entertained, but if the father allows herself to be pampered, she will notice it. Of course, you can not even think about it, but just imagine how all these walks alone, hot lunches for one and a long minute in the bathroom accumulate, and what is with this mother, who lacks sleep and which hormones act on. The husband should always remember the beloved woman and support her, pamper and make her at least little surprises. Then she will be sure that her partner really needs this relationship and that he takes part in everything that happens in the family, to the full.
