Hi,
I suspect we all perceive things according to our own backgrounds, and this discussion is a good example of that.
In my experience, with my ex-husband and the father of my child, he would never, ever, under any circumstances have cared for our child those long hours. Not even with his mother doing the majority of the work.
Never.
No matter what, he could not be inconvenienced.
If I had car trouble, don't bother him, call my dad.
Taking care of "the kid" as he called him? He was good for maybe an hour, but any sort of long hours of child care, he would have insisted that I handle it and that I pay for it.
Period. End of discussion.
I see from the expectations of other posters on this site how unusual that must be.
If PF is as selfish as everyone believes him to be, there had to be something in it for him that he accepted those long hours of child care.
Of course, we're all individuals and his way of looking at things are probably very different from my ex's.
Wonder if KB had an insurance policy for the baby?
