Yes, I have. I thought my husband should pay more attention than me to our baby. Because I was painful to give birth to him. But time went by I know it's our responsibility. Then I am enjoying the process now.

It's to be a responsible man that was told usually when we were a child. With time flying an adult seems to have learned it. But we still fight with the guy we marry and put the  blame on him or her. What is wrong with that? It proves we are not responsible for what happened at all. Since we choose the company to spend a life, we must weather the storm and enjoy the differ between us. I remember some words of a movie in China,which says that our parents hold a view that the broken thing ( including relationship) can be fixed but in our opinion just change another one. (上一辈人认为东西坏了是可以修的，我们认为换就行了。) We just say no before we even haven't give it a shot. So the point is whatever you choose is your responsibility. So let's learn to take the choice right now.
