Being a first time dad can be overwhelming, you’re not only there to support your newborn baby but also your partner.
He said: “No, we’re not babysitting, it’s called parenting. Some people say it just to strike up conversation, and I get that, but the idea that someone sees a dad with a new baby and somehow automatically assumes that he’s not actually involved in day to day care is increasingly at odds with the role that dads have in modern day society.”He explained that this has been reinforced by what we present to children as families — with mums always leading the child-caring.
Thought they might not be doing it right, Han-Son urges people to not ask this question if it’s purely subjective. He said: “This simply adds a strange pressure about returning to work which can add unnecessary stress and detract from the importance of bonding time with the baby.”Making light of a new dad’s efforts to care for his child by joking about basic parenting tasks can be rather annoying to say the least, according to Han-Son.
