A reality check for my DH - how many of you have full time partners at home? Or even if they only work part time? And how many "house-husbands" where the female works?
Fire, My partner works 1 week on, one week off. During both his week on and his week off he will do 99% of the house work. Thats his job, and my job is looking after Isabell, thats what he says im ok with that, but there have been times where i have gotten over it, and comaplained about not getting a sleep in, or not getting MY time when i want it and all the usual complaints of a mother (minus housework) and he always reminds me that im lucky that he does all the housework, most women out there have to do both looking after baby (or babies) AND housework..then i go ooh yeah that is true...but still i like my sleep ins and MY time...havent gotten any sleep ins, unless Isabell decides she wants a sleep in. Hmm, dunno if that answered your question in any way but still, my 5c worth

Ive started Isabell on solids too, id noticed if i was eating or drinking and she was on my lap she would make a grab for my arm and try and pull my arm so the food/drink is aiming for her mouth and not mine, cheeky monkey, and she was also watching us eat and 'chew' while we were chewing etc etc...So just on farex atm will be adding veggie purees soon to give it a bit of a nicer taste, when i give it to her she pulls a face similar to and chews verrrry slowly, like she is so unsure of the taste hehe its so cute...

Umm yeah i think thats about all i have to say for now...
