Dads React to Nighttime Crying By Pretending to Sleep
"More than one-half of British fathers react to their infants' nighttime crying by either continuing or pretending to sleep, according to a recent survey conducted by Mother and Baby magazine in the United Kingdom. While 52 percent of fathers do not get up in the middle of the night to care for their children, an additional 22 percent get up only after their partner has gotten out of bed to tend to the baby. As a result, six out of 10 mothers reported feeling resentful toward their partners."
***I'm forwarding this to Richard because HE DOES THIS!

Most women resent their partners, anyway. Or they soon will, for any number of reasons. Sad thing is, those men that pretend to keep sleeping- their dads probably did the same thing, thus those men missed out on alot of important, brain-cell-building TLC as children and are sorely lacking in the maturity dept. because of it.
What a vicious cycle. Sure they may be getting more sleep than the moms, but they're not getting any smarter or more responsible.
Amen to that! Richard was VERY close to his dad and his dad did everything around the house. His mom did nothing. When Richard brushes things off with Kyra and Maeve, I get upset. Spending time with them and doing fun stuff is how you bond with them. That's why I can't wait till they both get to go fishing with him. They will ALL love that!
