It seems a revealing phrase worthy of Venezuelan soap opera, I joke, but we can't find a way to Our baby understands that the man who tries to sleep and calm him is his father. Although my baby doesn't have separation anxiety like Dolores' baby, at the moment when Arturo is tired, sleepy or angry, my husband can't calm him down despite trying everything: songs, pampering, games, walks in the living room To the room…
These days I prepared for a relaxing night bath (because that is when I have a little time), I filled the bathtub, put lavender essences, half light, music on the water ... The bathroom promised.
Meanwhile, Arturo was fighting the dream in his dad's arms. Within minutes of getting into the bathtub the cries of inconsolable crying. What was going to be a relaxing bath turned into a quick dip.
Outside my husband was rehearsing his last strategy to calm him down, I came out half wet and when he picked it up and nursed it the crying disappeared, he was not hungry, but he wanted his "maternal emotional shot". His father frustrated and trying to find the cause of what happened so as not to feel a rejected father explains it by blaming his biological lack of good tits, yes his flat chest, "because that is the only thing I need," concludes in disgust.
And when he cries, he cries of "truth", only in my arms does he get comfort. Because, as Sergio Sinay says, a father is not a mother and a mother is not a father.
