I kind of agree with Epacris. my DH had to work long hours and it was hard for both of us in different ways. in my mind a tiny baby needs mum so much in those first few months, they need to bond with dad too but I think they rely more on mum. Of course that changes but initially I pretty much had the girls all the time, except for a late bath and overnight when DH would help. I kind of think nature makes it that way, and it is how it is for lots of families, so don't feel bad about it. Those hormones that make a mum protective and need to be with their baby are very strong.
