It all makes sense now...

I heard about a study done on baby cries on the news today. Apparently Mom brains respond to the crying. Dad brains? Not so much! 

"Brain scans showed that, in the women, patters of brain activity abruptly switched to an attentive mode when they heard the infant cries, whereas the men's brains remained in the resting state." 

I always wondered how sometimes DD could start fussing and DH wouldn't even flinch. I guess it isn't really his fault, but I'll still get mad at him for sure! Hahaha.

    I wonder this also, how I can get twitchy and have to check on her, and he just sits there, like RIGHT THERE, like a lump....huh. Science.


    So so true. And I have also noticed that attentive thing even with babies that arent mine.

    There's been times where he's been holding her and watching a movie and she started fussing! And it doesn't phase him at all. He just keeps on watching. Then I throw daggers at him with my eyes and take her.

    I just heard about this study too!  It's definitely true!  DS can be yelling at DH to come pick him up and DH just keeps watching tv.  Makes me crazy!!!
