Struggling DH

So DH rarely takes care of both kids by himself. They stayed at my parents Saturday night because we both worked. He brought them home yesterday afternoon. I got home from work around 8pm and he asked if I wanted to quit my job because he "can't do this". He was so frustrated because M doesn't eat as easily for him as she does for me. I'm not at all opposed to not working, but I only work Saturday and Sunday as it is... and the kids are usually at my parents for at least half of every weekend. He really can't handle a few hours alone?

I'm much quieter and calmer than DH and M is very sensitive to loud voices and noises; she startles when I'm holding her and I sniffle. For real. I truly think he just isn't being quiet enough when trying to take care of her. Not sure how much he can change that... but I told him that's likely the issue. I feel bad for him though because I can tell he feels incompetent. Poor loud man. Haha.

    You never know. It could be your calm demeanor for sure. But he's still daddy and I'm sure if he was extra patient things would turn around.

    We definitely can relate.

    DH watches B when I work Saturday and Sundays and before he got the hang of it he was always calling and texting me asking me to come home.

    I just suggested he watch me a little more closely during the weeknights

    I don't know if I have any advice, but I had to work from home today, and DH has Mondays off, so he is watching DS. It is TORTURE for me to hear DS crying in the other room while I'm working. DH said he was just being a "little brat" because he cried ev
