My DH’s completely unrealistic expectations about paternity leave.

[MummyOfTerrors]

sounds like male nesting lol
my DH before our 1st was born had all these plans and left any odd jobs cause as he said "ill be bored stupid with nothing to do"
i tried many times to point out we will be busy do it now before his born

well lets just say he quickly realised how much work a newborn is and how little sleep you get lol

[~Kim~]

haha, nope in my experience no matter what the reason for the 'leave' they see that as time for ME to do what I want to do, as opposed to well at least I get some time off work to spend with my family.

LOL Man nesting .

[~Hestia~]

I have to say, I love his enthusiasm

[ladybird11]

Woah, I should consider myself lucky! Our third is potentially days away from arriving too - yet DH just wants to play 'family man'! No mention of reno's or anything!

I think your DH is definately nesting lol!!! At least he is making plans to carry out around the house and isn't planning an epic sporting adventure away from the house lol!!

Hilarious! And i thought it was just my husband. At least they are ambitious.

LOL at man nesting. Let him try hee hee and see how far he gets!! Mine thought that an appropriate leave period, (remembering he doesn't even live here with us) would be from the 9th of april til the 26th when I'm due the 19th... it is very likely I may not have even had the baby by then!! We have since sorted that out and he will now be back for 6 weeks.
