Today during "Cradle Chat" at Gymboree, I decided to try and contribute to the group discussion. I figured my previous tact of just not saying much because I'm the only guy in the group was not really exciting enough for me. I usually stayed quiet because my previous comments on sleep and feeding habits were generally unpopular with the other "girls".
Today's "discussion" could have been a skit on Saturday Night Live. The women treated me like I wasn't there. I told two stories about successes we've had with Charlotte, and both were met with polite versions of "yeah... well". I just laughed to myself and thought, okay, then keep on struggling with your baby not sleeping or not being able to feed your daughter with anything but a breast. Sounds funny to me just typing that!!!
Women just don't want to hear from a man about baby stuff. Of course, we know NOTHING. :-)
I'm not bashing ladies, I'm just find it amusing that a man can't engage in a discussion with women about raising his baby without getting rolling eyes and cold shoulders... ???
Anyway... I know Charlie appreciates her Dad's involvement.

I'd think the women would be all over you. Maybe that's just in the movies. You're doing an awesome job as a parent!
