He is SO pathetic. What's wrong with him, the moron. You hold and love your baby, fool. I pity his wife.

What about the friend, went to the baby's birthday party and didn't know? Both are a pair! They should move into together, they'd starve to death

Think you guys are overreacting. He's a new dad probably, scared or lost or something. He's got work to do, for sure. But I'm loving the friend. He thinks the baby is a niece, what a super friend for life, I love that.

It's so easy to jump to conclusions and judge someone. My wife and I both work and the division of labour in the household is she does everything kids, I do the rest. (However, we both spend lots of time playing with all the kids). She gets home before me and is with the kids right away. Sometimes she helps me, sometimes I help her. If she were to hand me our one of my (3) kids - like the baby, right after I got home, I'd wonder what's going on and how long I needed to hold the baby.
