I guess if i had more kids with that person it would be different.

What i mean is that i wouldnt want him having to do everything for her. Changing nappies, getting up in the night to settle her etc. Like in a way it wouldnt feel right KWIM??

I mean, unless he really wanted to.. which would be weird for me u know cause im used to doing it all myself.

Exactly how I feel.

Tobin does a lot for Han - as in this morning got her up and gave her breakfast while I slept in... ahhhh blissss... though I maintain financial responsibility for her and do the childcare drop off and pick up stuff.

If anything it's relationship building for them. Atleast that's what I tell myself so I can sleep in just that liiiittle bit longer.

well for me, DP came along when C was out of that baby stage anyway, so that was never a concern.
I think if they are willing to help , then let them , if any guy is going to be part of your life, they will do so knowing a child comes with you anyway
