same here lol



Us too.

Well when it came to the vaccination question anyway.    I did all the legwork, condensed it the best I could, gave him a chance to provide input and then TOLD him what we were doing!

Overall, I armed myself with knowledge, knew where to go to if it all turned pear shaped and took it from there. Some decisions, like the vaccination one is 'open' in that the decision we make now might change in the future if we feel it is warranted BUT bf was non-negotiable for me as was when baby would get weaned.

So if he hated that I wanted to bf he'd have to have gotten over it. PMSL He never mentioned anything about the fact that DS2 was still bf at 12, then 18 months so he was either being quietly supportive or wisely keeping his thoughts to himself! bahahahahahaha He was all for me bf, not sure he'd still be all for it if A hadn't weaned at 18.5 months though and was still going at just turned 3.

Thankfully DH and I are pretty much on the same wave length. We talk about it, I generally do the research if we need more info, then we make a decision together. Dh will sometimes do the research if its something he's better at, then we talk about it and make a decision together

Same here. We have very different backgrounds and TBH mine probably shows up stronger in our family as we're extreme as far as his family is concerned but they are very buttoned up lol luckly for me DP is his familys wildcard I do generally lead on ideas but yep we're a good team.

DF and I have been talking about different parenting decisions for a couple of years, just throwing things out there. I'm the one who has been researching different things like vaccinations and I actually asked him just before if he wanted to do his own research on it or whether he wanted me to do all the looking up and just share my thoughts with him. He said he's fine with whatever I decide as (over the past few days I've been regurgitating information at him) I've made some good points.

Things like circumcision were no-brainers with us as Df is intact and has no wishes to circumcise our (potential) boys.

Pretty much we talk things over unless it's something DF trusts my judgement on or he feels doesnt directly impact him even though I still ask for his opinion.
