~That's The Difference Between Mommy & Daddy~

Josiah got woke up from Julian crying in the middle of the night so naturally he wanted a bottle too. My husband is at fault here for Josiah waking up-here is why. My husband brought Julian into our bedroom and set him down so my husband could use the bathroom-before making a bottle for Julian. 
Of course Julian started crying, waking Josiah and I up. I asked my husband why didn't you make a bottle before using the bathroom? He said I couldn't hold it. I said really? I hold it all day long some days-doing the potty dance just to make sure the babies have what THEY need first!
I told him that is the difference between a mom and a dad. (Most of the time anyway).

Oh how funny but oh so true for some!!! having been a babysitter most of my teen and adult life it is so hard to get time to go to the bathroom without a kid knocking on the door or causing a ruckus outside so alot of times i would hold it till they were able to take a nap or really focused on a cartoo and even then i was listening for any sudden movements lol

@chrissbergstrom Yes it is! Lol. You will definitely be well prepared for kids someday if you decide to have children. =) Most guys sadly are not.

@LovingMyBabies yeah I used to think about maybe having kids someday, but I think I am happy with just nieces and nephews unless somehow I am inna committed relationship in the next 5 years or so

The consequences of his actions just did not seem to hit him and so he had both of them up.

That is a difficult situation, I have to say I side with your husband on this one, if I am peeing on myself that will not help the baby or me... when I have to go ... its coming and yes I have peed myself more than one trying to do the mad dash to the bathroom.

@LovingMyBabies I hope you didn't made a mess when doing the dance. My dad knocked down 2 chairs on the way to the toilet.

@LovingMyBabies If it was some years back,I would have sided with you.But I think it is difficult hold till the bottle is finished.Also,in India,there are men under such a situation,just wake up their wives to deal with everything and go back to sleep.(Not all of them,of course.)That photo you took is really beautiful.

@silvermist No all he had to do was make his bottle and give it to him! Julian is 15 months old. He didn't have to feed Josiah-that would be different. Lol.
Thank you! =)

Very true. Lol. But most mommys do things for kids more which is why we understand it and do it unlike them

@Courtlynn To me it's common sense to do things in the right order-with the babies always coming first.

I might be able to hold my pee an hour or a couple minutes but I am a woman and I can't hold it all day.

@workathomefan It would have just been a few minutes for him. He just had to put milk in a bottle and hand it to him.
I don't hold it all day long either but I will hold it long enough to make a bottle or change a diaper.

Oh no you too.It is perhaps the difference you are telling between man and woman actually,Right?

@suripunj I said most, don't worry. Not all, but it was a selfish move to worry about his bladder before his son's needs.

Women are just perfect when it comes to taking care of babies. But he tried and you got to give him credit for that.
