If you guys need resources about things like breast feeding education, postpartum physio, psych, etc. I can ask my wife about resources. If you feel like your partner needs it, you should definitely bring it up.

You need to consider in the first months of parenting your partner is going through massive hormonal changes and could be dealing with postpartum depression.
If you think you’re that far off on the parenting from each other I strongly suggest you have a frank discussion about it or seek therapy before it strains the relationship beyond something that’s tolerable. | My wife was barely tolerable during those early months and the grandmas were not helping. I highly recommend using a therapist even if things aren't really bad - it's useful to have a sounding board. Perspective is hard to find during those early months - the change in life is so big and there's so little time to decompress and reflect.

Just sharing this as it's presently the best part of my day.
So I drop off my 6y.o kid at school every day - we usually walk, sometimes drive and seeing her grow up has been such a blast. She doesn't need me to walk her right to the door anymore, she just gives me a peck on the cheek, cheerfully goes, "Bye Dad" and runs off to her classroom.

Lucky you. My kid is at the "Go away, Baba" stage most of the time now. I wasn't expecting this to happen for another 2 - 3 years.

My wife and I went through rough patches with post partum with both kids. With the first one, she was combative for about 6 months, then it slowly eased up. Of course our relationship took a hit but it recovered as we both evolved in our beliefs on how and what to do with the baby and each other.
Before we had our second one I brought up the issues we had but we went ahead anyways.
Lo and behold, much more of the same combative stance from her. I reminded her that we went through the same thing and she was at least conscious of the problems may be due to her hormones and overall lack of sleep (second baby slept extremely poorly compared to the first)
I don't remember how old 6793026's baby is, but there's a good chance it'll pass with the hormones changing and also both of your beliefs changing, and setting clear boundaries with people who affect you guys Quote:

Wife is a little miffed she's not in on it but my son also doesn't let her drop off.
We'll see how long that lasts before he's too embarrassed Quote:

My daughter is 4 mths old.
Hormones will always change. I hate it as women use it blaming on that and every community member say it's hormonal. I'm hormonal too! LOL.
I'm all for therapy, it's part of the benefits. * my wife is a health care professional who specializes in freaking child development so i'll never ever ever win in any agrument. LOL.
I have to choose my battles. Right now it's Measles vaccine. Back 10 years ago, it's never an issue cause it's suppressed, how it's all over the place. ON + Calgary (esp a lot of Mormons area) so it's pretty crazy and top of mind for my kid to get that before we travel.
Honestly, being on an airplane, ventilation is really good / much better but again, never going to win over my wife in "safety" for the child.

No man, it literally is hormonal. The amount of changes a woman goes through from being pregnant, to not pregnant is a big deal.

Yeah that’s fucked if she’s a healthcare worker and thinks that’s a reasonable idea.

or maybe it's the other way around?
Please see the "Exposure Source" and "Vaccination Status" near the bottom of this page. I'm not sure if ventilation on the airplane is all you need to worry about. https://health-infobase.canada.ca/measles-rubella/
