so many of the mom's in my mom's group can't (won't) leave their babies with their husbands for more than a half hour, if that. Craziness.
You're kidding me. Still?! I mean, don't the other moms in your group have kids Liam's age? I could understand the moms in my mom's group not leaving their kids with the father, because my group is only for women whose babies are less than eight weeks old... but one-year-olds?
Craziness, yes. And it's sad that these fathers are being denied the chance to become truly confident parents who have close relationships with their babies. There's just no way for that to happen when the "real" parent (mom)is always there ready to swoop in and take charge.
