Hi Bruce.

Our S are about the same age. Our milage may vary, but I want to give you a look at my situation.

I worked a lot and my X took care of S. I took time of from work and arranged for shorter days her and there, but my X was always the one doing the bigger half of the work in regards to S.

Now, I was far from perfect, but I still :
-changed diapers
-fed him
-bathed him
-played with him
-took him on walks
-put him to bed
-stayed up at nights if he was sick, even though I had long days at work ahead of me
-got two months+ off from work to spend time with S while she could work
-etc

and STILL :
when I asked for more time with S after BD she asked why I suddenly started caring about spending time with S when I didn't before.

If I can do all of that and my X still thinks I didn't care, then imagine what your W might(!) think when you haven't even changed a diaper.

The only positive thing I see about BD is that I now really see just how much I appreciate time with S alone. I enjoy every aspect of it.
If you get to spend time with S alone, maybe you will start to relax and enjoy it even more.
