A female Ireland age 36-40, *ashes writes:

hi..... i need some advice on my relationship. my boyf and i have been together six years and we have a seven month old baby. when i was pregnant we discussed what i would do when the time came to go back too work and he said i could stay at home and raise our son. i love being home with him every day. my boyf works long hours he's up at four in the morning and gets home around four in the afternoon and he's normally too tired to play with our son. he would come in and i'd have his dinner ready and i'd ask him too hold the baby while i put it on plates and he'd say yeah just one minute and i'll go wash my hands and he'd wash them and then lie on the bed and i'd have too put the baby down and he'd be crying and i'd be trying too get the dinner out and he never comes back down to take him... he finishes early most wednesdays and he comes home and goes too a friends house to use his gym and its the same on a saturday. i don't know if i am being selfish but i don't think this is fair. like should he not want too spend time with the baby when he has a bit of spare time. i seem too be the only one who sacrificed alot of things for our son. he won't even change his nappies or feed him. i love being with my son but am i selfish too want a break every now and again even if it is just an hour......

Take a look at Charlie and his father Albert who is a member of the same sailing association as me. This is male bonding of the finest order!

i wouldnt worry to much about this, men are wired differently than women, as uncle phil said below it wont be long before you hardly see either due to male bonding etc...

Satindesire is quite right.

Once your boy is old enough to play football and go fishing and all those other 'boy' things that fathers do with their sons, you'll have a job seeing anything of either of them, so don't worry too much. Holding spewing babies and changing stinking nappies isn't exactly my cup of tea either, and it never was, so your fella isn't unique in that respect!
