Hey there! I am new-ish to the spouse boards (coming back after long absence and everything changed).
I have a question about giving DH bonding time with our son. We had him right before PGY1 (he is a surgical resident) and now with DH's schedule, he is home very little and misses our little boy during the day.
Since I am the primary caregiver, it is very easy for me to remedy any crying that DS does or just "come to the rescue." I think it might hurt DH's feelings that he isn't around often and when he is, I am constantly saying "Oh, I can do that you rest." and things of the likes.
How do you give your SO bonding time with your LO without being a "helicopter" parent and "coming to the rescue" for everything??
TIA!
