How does your DH handle 2u2?

Just wondering how your DH's handle 2u2?  

DH always joked he wanted our kids 9 months apart if possible, but I don't think he really understands how much work it is going to be in the beginning.  Just yesterday, DS was getting in to everything, while I was making dinner, and DH commented, how are we going to handle two of them.  I think it is starting to sink in that we will have 2 14 months apart in a little while.

    My DH is amazing with the 2 kids. We made this decision together, so from the very beginning he knew he needed to step up. He hasn't disappointed me at all. He puts DS to bed, I put DD to bed. He gets up early with them on the weekends. He is never, ev

    My DH had a tough time in the beginning if left alone with the 2 of them, more b/c he gets nervous with newborns, not b/c there were 2 of them.  He thinks the baby should just be attached to mom's boob at all times lol.  Once DS got older and wa

    My DH is a 100% hands on daddy.  He walks in the door after work and it's all about the kids.  He has his moments where he gets stressed as we all do.  If he could retire tomorrow he would just so he can be home all the time with the kids.

    We don't use DC, so one of us is always home with the kids. I know at the beginning it was very overwhelming for DH. Both girls are very into "mama" and the baby was eating constantly and wouldn't nap. It just makes for a long day and it was a tough adjus

    Let me preface this with: Dh is not a baby person. At all. Very little experience with them and very little patience...

    So as you can imagine, he has had a tough time with two. However, the older they get, the better he is, so when DD was bor

    He almost never handles them both at the same time. When he's around, he can take care of DS just fine. DD won't take a bottle, and because of DH's work schedule for half of her life so far, he hasn't been able to be around to learn her schedule or anythi
