How do I get the point across to DH that he needs to spend time with his son?

Awww Mrsr... it is tough isn't it. I had the same thing happen when Oscar was born!! I was so frustrated and I felt like DH didn't want to spend time with him. In the end I realised though that DH always spoke about when Oscar gets older and he can walk and talk etc. So I clicked that he wanted Oscar to be able to interact with him more... once we hit about the 2 month mark when Oscar started smiling etc DH was a lot more interested in him. I know it shouldn't take that long but I think they find it hard as little bubs just lay there and I think the Dads really don't know what to do.

If you want some time to yourself I would grab a book and jump in the bath.. tell DH that you need a break for an hour and that he can look after Jack for that time. It might take a bit of pressure off if you're not around as I know my DH knew I was pedantic about things and was always watching what he did. He thought he would do something wrong!! Even if you need to grab something at the shop... just tell DH you'll BBS and nick down the shop for 10 mins. I'm sure he will realise that he's not such a bad little guy after all
