Babies...
My husband is currently sat at the dining room table playing a geeky solo board game (Arkham Horror), whilst giving a running commentary to our 4 week old son, who is peacefully asleep beside him in his carrycot. It's only our second night as full time parents, as our son was born 6 weeks prematurely and spent the first 26 days of his life in the Special Care unit at hospital. My husband has, over the past 4 weeks, proved himself to be an absolute natural at the parenting thing.

Other than producing milk, there isn't anything that my husband can't do for our child just as well as I can. This may not be true of all men, but the assumption that men can't look after babies is utter rubbish.

Awww
Very lovely and clicked - but get back to us in a few years and let us know if you still feel the same way. I was always good at looking after the babies, but can I get them ready for school with full quota of PE kits, lunch money, random objects for show and tell and remembering to sign up for the parents' evening? Can I bollocks.
