My FIL just left. YES! In all fairness, he's of a very different generation. Darling is older than me and he was a later-in-life baby. Add all those years up and FIL is slightly younger than my grandparents. He never changed a diaper. Well, maybe he changed one or two. Fathers in his generation didn't really do that - or anything else connected with childcare. He comes from the generation of fathers who got involved with their kids when they were old enough to throw a ball. It only makes sense that he rankles me - the woman who believes both parents should share parenting and household responsibilities.
Either way, he's about to board a plane to fly home and we'll see him again many months from now. And there was much rejoicing.
