New Father Help (From a Wife)

starswinger

My husband of 8 years has been amazing at being a husband. Neither of us wanted to have a child until just last year when we started trying to get pregnant. My previous miscarriage was devastating to DH as well as myself. Then DH was amazing throughout my entire pregnancy and birth.

Since then, I have changed my job to work at home to raise our son. DH would come home and I thought the evenings would be quality time together him and his son. However, DH has decided that he does not like being a father. The only way he interacts with out son is when I ask him to look after him for a few minutes so I can do a few things - like shower or clean bottles. I feel like it is pulling teeth to get him to help. I just stop asking him for help anymore because of the "attitude".

Anyone else have this issue? Is it just a guy thing in the beginning? How can we fix this?
