I can tell from your response that you have never had any hand in raising children. Babies require 24 hour 7 days a week. There is no time off! To sit back and have a cool one. Who gets up during the night for feedings? Who changes diapers? I feel all new dads should have to look after the babies for at least a week. With no help at all. Then and only then will you ever understand the work involved. My husband had to look after my son while I was in the hospital. He said he wouldn't trade even! What in my response says that I have no experience raising children? I have two children, who I stay at home with, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I know that there is no time off. When I do have a that rare moment to myself, I enjoy it. As far as night time feedings, when I was nursing exclusively, it was I who woke up on in the middle of the night, when I pumped breast milk for a bottle, it was my husband. My husband changes all the diapers when he is home. He takes an active role in our children's lives. When I was hospitalized last year for a week, he, not anyone else, cared for our children. So please do not tell me that I do not know the amount of work involved.
