I ask if dad will be fixing dinner when the baby is 2 so he can continue to
*bond* with the baby.  Seriously there are so many other things dad can do
to bond with a baby.  My first born was over 3 months old when I *had* to
give him his bath because I was away from home with dad no where in sight.
Dad still is the bath giver now that the kids are 5 and 2.
