I love how honest Cody is! He doesn’t give the answers that most people think he should give. He is just authentic. Like “we’re still bonding”

[@alliepruett1094]

This makes my heart hurt. I knew watching this that you guys weren’t doing so good and it makes me so sad. He will realize what he’s missing. Girl you are amazing.

[@luxconcept]

How did you know things weren’t going good? She never made any comments about it. Or do you just mean from his tone?

[@lamingtongirl123]

He’s probably happy somewhere else if anything

Lmao. "Ur like a f--king Mom" -cody. I was craking up. 😆😆 welll said dude. 👏👏👏

[@polinapearl3474]

The fact that he quotes Scott Disick and doesnt feel like a dad makes me so sad ... I'm so happy you can handle raising her 💗 you are an amazing beautiful smart caring mom !

[@mads8851]

I love how real this was. Cody was genuine about his emotions and you provided a safe environment for him to be honest. I love you both and am so happy you have the little “squish” now. Stay safe and happy guys ❤️

[@brittanybalyn]

thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@love_nyc_]

this didnt age well lol

[@polinapearl3474]

Thank god she can raise this beautiful child on her own .... He looks so immature and uninterested almost unemotional... and im happy he said "youre a fu#king mom " its true im so happy he acknowledged that!

She is literally his twin lol 👶

I saw a meme saying that being a mom is like school, you do all the hard work but the other classmate gets the credit LOL

[@whitney3258]

For all the dads with breastfeeding moms questioning how to bond with baby -change baby diapers (it's not gross) my husband calls himself "diaper dad" and they "talk" and just spend a little time together. -burp after feeding -give the baby a bath -my hubby takes baby when she gets up in the morning (after she eats) and they hang out why I either grab an extra hour of sleep or just relax in bed.

[@johanna2690]

It's so important. My dad was never involved in caregiving activities. He worked so much. I only started bonding with him as a teenager. Now we love to watch romantic comedies together and talk about politics. But it still makes me sad that he was almost a stranger to me as a child. But he regrets it himself and now tells new dads that your children are more important than your work. You can't get these years back

[@xxoxANNIExxox]

That should be a given

[@Twilightloverr03]

His facial expression when you said “if you were giving birth I don’t know if I could watch” 😂😂😂😂

[@aquacorpses]

I’m so happy Cody agreed to film this, I couldn’t stop smiling throughout the whole video. You are just the most adorable family

[@cassievail4361]

I know that I can’t judge him based solely on the videos I’ve watched of him but I do sense a bit of attitude from him and that he talks to Brittany in a very cold way. I know the separated and we have no idea how hard that was on Brittany but I hope he is able to be more warm and happy than how he seems to be the last while

[@LOLZHAHANOTFUNNY]

Cody's chillness knows no bounds 😂💕 My hubby's the high strung one and I'm just like "Chill kiddo, we'll be all good" 👌 Your family is eveyone's goals, for a real one

[@brittanybalyn]

I feel like there's always the chill parent and a neurotic one haha, I see it with our friends who are parents too! 😂💕

[@Nikolet-ka]

Can not wrap my head around what happened in these two months from this video to ur newest one. I wish u all the strength to keep going and be still positive and beautiful person. ❤️

[@berdawn82]

They seem very very distant. I’m not shocked at all.

[@ThreeLittleBirdsssss]

@Amber Dawn lol, facts

[@Marie-id9do]

I love that he said "she looks like her" when you asked who she looks like. I cannot tell AT ALL when people say babies look like mom or dad, they're all just cute balls of mush!

[@jessicagarcia2081]

I love how real Cody was. My fiancé thinks exactly the same way! First real answers I’ve seen.

[@thedavisclan1949]

I know it sounds so weird but something my husband did a lot of cuddling with us when I breastfed . When he had the chance he’d sit with us and rub our baby’s back or feet or just watch a video with me and lay his on my shoulder so the baby could see , it helped a lot with their bonding ❤️

[@hajergart5261]

No its sounds cute ❤️

[@Username0029]

This. is. so. cuuutteeeee

[@lucysfv]

Aww omg I love this!!

[@tfptravel.food.peace.3788]

[@ghostcat2467]

That doesn't sound weird at all! Sounds really sweet.

[@melindadupuis]

I think she’s the perfect mix of both of you honestly!!

[@famlee3639]

I love how honest this was!! It really helps with what to expect without feeling guilty of not feeling this stereotypical “dad” mood KZbinrs always portray.

[@zng3111]

Y'all are so incredibly likable. Great questions, much appreciation for Cody's answers. That baby looks just like her daddy. God bless

[@deemarie179]

Honestly, maybe we should just acknowledge that his "coldness, uninterested look" is just a sign of major depression. My partner went through a rough patch in our relationship and it was like talking to a wall! He was cold, no emotion, hardly made conversation and you could see it I'm his eyes he was not happy. That's what I personally see in Cody. I can't imagine people being so rude and picking my man apart because of his mental state during that time. How about we give Cody and Brittany some positive comments to read! How about we acknowledge these signs before it's too late and let him know that he's important! Not saying he is in fact depressed but I'd rather be kind just incase he is fighting demons. One day Arrow will grow up and read these comments and it may hurt her! Just thought I'd share this perspective.

[@pinkpeach3217]

That’s exactly what I was thinking! He looks depressed

[@sharongrewal3363]

Or he maybe just a narcissist.

[@deemarie179]

@@sharongrewal3363 Yeah, he COULD be but we don't know for sure so why assume?

[@sharongrewal3363]

@@deemarie179 same way that you *assumed* that his cold uninterested look is a sign he's going through "major depression". Yeah, we don't know. That's EXACTLY the point. Your perception (diagnoses) is in no way or form more valid than the lens with what I saw. My assuming holds no lesser weight than yours. You *assumed* as did I. Your comment is not anymore factual than my own, but mine is tossed aside as an assumption. Sorry, but that's a wee little too entitled for me........

[@deemarie179]

@@sharongrewal3363 You know what, you are totally right! Never thought of it that way. I was just trying to see things differently instead of all these comments pointing him out being the bad guy in the relationship. To maybe show people that depression can look differently for some people. Break the stigma a little instead on commenting that "he's always been a douchebag" or "I'm glad she's not with him anymore, he was never there for her". Not saying you said these things but so many have and I'd hate for their little girl to see these comments in the future. But I apologize for being hypocritical!

[@bdoa8241]

I’m re-watching this after the most recent video was posted. My face during Cody’s responses…… 🙃😅 sooooo bad. I would be so devastated if my husband gave answers the way he did. I appreciate the honesty, always! But seriously. Such a lack of respect in his answers. Makes me sad. Brittany, you’re doing amazing, momma! ♥️

[@Weepypeach]

I love this, thank you both for being open and genuine! It’s so great to hear about Cody’s experience so far and I’m excited to show my husband this in the hopefully near future🤞 All the love to you guys 💜

[@brittanycarriere9423]

Don't know how I found you guys but super glad I did! How refreshing to see REAL people! No acting, no faking! And an actual F bomb!! Bahaha! Good job Cody! Sending love from Canada! 🇨🇦😘

[@TheChelseacraze]

When I watched this is made me really sad. He seems so disconnected. Maybe he is going through post partum depression. He seems disassociated with being a dad or even a husband. The way he answered intimacy after giving birth seemed insensitive too. I was pregnant when I first watched this and it made me cry and feel like my body would be unwanted based on that answer. Idk I am probably relating my own insecurities too much and assuming a lot.

[@hayleymartindelcampo9310]

Why am I so emotional with how well you guys are talking about each other’s roles and bonding between the baby 😭 his answers are so pure 💗

[@briannalemus6963]

I love this video because he was so honest and didn’t say only what we wanted to hear ! Arrow’s parents are dope!

[@midwinterblooms]

OMG It is just so precious how Arrow keeps switching positions during the whole Q&A! Love ya'lls little family! You are doing a great job!!

[@melindaswanson9670]

So great for Cody to talk about the connection you guys both have with Arrow and the desires and ideas about parenting from a male perspective. Mem often like to feel needed and when bub's are little they need mum so much it's harder for dad to have the same bond.

[@karlasofiaji]

So funny how we are the ones who go through all the pregnancy symptoms, pain, labor, body changes, etc., and they end up being daddy’s clone lol! My husband looooves that our daughter is just like him and I don’t mind cause she is so cute. Arrow is soooo precious btw!

[@Sassyfairie]

I’ve watched you for SO long and it’s surreal seeing you guys as parents 🥺🥺🥺

[@cruztastrophe]

I'm nearly 36 weeks and I'm gonna have my husband watch this. We've been looking for more dad content.

[@brittanybalyn]

we need more dad content! It's a big time for them too, and there honestly easily forgotten during this crazy time. these were a lot of questions I've never had a chance to ask myself, this was a good process to go through for us!

[@cruztastrophe]

@@brittanybalyn My husband agrees. She looks just like her dad lol

[@kiarahveldsman7460]

I just love how she is herself I kinda gives me a vibe🤗

[@fosternowlin]

The fact that Cody wants to co-sleep 😍 warms my heart!! And my hubby gained 25 pound during my pregnancy

[@charizmaticchronicles]

My husband was the one who wanted to cosleep to give him more peace of mind.

[@thegrumpygecko2390]

My husband loved our son when he was a little baby of course, but as he has gotten older they have bonded so much more. My son is four now and they are best friends. Give your husband time and he will grow into the dad roll more and more. It takes the daddies a little bit longer sometimes.

[@jennysena7264]

It’s so rad to think of when you first started dating, and following you guys up till now. Cute ass family!

[@wiildonex3]

Okay I’m in love with this video and the whole fam! You two are so adorable and have such an open/honest relationship! This was a great video to film Britt! 💕

[@cassandrabowen7151]

This was such a great video! I love his honesty. Cody seems like the coolest dad! This is one of my favorite videos 💕

[@leizygatos7139]

I think Cody doesn’t feel like he or you’ve changed is because the transition was so natural for you guys 🥰 💕

[@katiecrowley88]

The “we’re still bonding” thing is so true. I expected this massive connection for my baby when I met him but it really was like I love you but I don’t know you. After getting to know my baby that’s when the bond really got strong.

[@Brianna-vr1xu]

The 4 month leap was intense! It can be tough, but the growth is so fast & exciting! My baby girl came out rolling everywhere, with two teeth, and sitting up on her own! 😭 5 months as of today!!! Arrow is so cute & chunky!!! 😍 Ya know what? We bedshare! And it’s the best thing for our family. There are ways to do it safely & honestly, nurseries are a privilege. In many countries & households - there is not room for babies (or even older children) to have a room to themselves. Such a great video! I’m going to ask my husband these questions tonight 😂

[@rhiannonmatthews4541]

I feel like cody has kinda accepted baby stage is all about the mommy but cant wait for the toddler stage when shes all about her daddy🥰

[@Xanxer]

Oh yeah, once they say "dadee" and they run towards them when they come home, game changes lol

[@heygladysmejia]

I was an only child too and loved it! I feel like I’m so much closer to my mom because of it.❤️

[@abbybaca6017]

I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago and it really feels like I've been following you forever. You're adorable.

[@SavvElisabeth]

Such good parents and a wonderful couple! You both are supportive of eachother!

[@jessicargyle]

Such a sweet video! I breastfed for about 15 months and although my husband was always extremely involved, I feel they connected more when they spent more time one-on-one and our parenting roles became more “equal” once I stopped breastfeeding. Toooootally get what Cody meant when he said Arrow looks like herself not him. People constantly say my son looks like my hubby but I say the same, my son just looks like himself ♥️

[@emilymay6418]

I only felt like a mom when my baby turned 1.5-2. it all felt surreal, kind of like a dream until then. It wasn't an overnight shift for me

[@rettlyon2298]

Red flags everywhere in his answers. But Im glad at least he can co-parent. You rock girl, I love your energy!

[@amandapetch7347]

Your amazing to watch. I had my son in August and your videos have always been uplifting for me during my pregnancy and postpartum.

[@Talulaxo]

He’s so relaxed and chill. It was so nice to see you guys interact! Would love to see more of him:)

[@SillyKash09]

So this is how you tubers get ready with a baby! 😄 I’ve always wondered what it actually takes and now I know. Also I felt like a full blown mum straight away and it definitely took my husband a lot longer to get into the ‘dad’ role.

[@monica_zulkerine468]

I understand him because my husband is the same way! He bonds more with the kids as toddlers! And it’s reasonable 🥰

[@catsbiie6691]

He's so real and honest!

[@jenb.8724]

As a married woman without children yet this is very helpful and eye opening because I have expectations that I never thought my husband might feel differently about.

No denying that beautiful baby’s daddy! They are mirror images of one another! 🥰😍🥰😍

[@RockyLoveMoochi]

She is her daddy’s twin. Loved this. It’s good to hear from the fathers! Ps, in my own husbands words, it’s took time to bond- through play mostly! The instinctual love and protection kicks in, but the bond takes time! It wasn’t until our littles were able to play and interact did my husband start to feel bonded. ❤️

[@darlingdivinedigitaldesign93]

This was very helpful. I was very insecure about my body after birth. I have a wonderful husband and he tells me I’ve sacrificed my looks to give him something he’s wanted for forever. Not to be insecure because he’s not with me for the looks. Having a mans insight on what he really thinks helps cement what my husband tells me. So even though I feel this way, it’s not something I need to be concerned about.

[@ivy3986]

my kids are 2 and 4 now and i finally feel like a mom lol i felt the same where it was weird like i was watching someone else’s kids but i’ve always had trouble with emotional attachment it took a lot of one on one time with each of them and learning to be more in the moment and reflect on the day every night to be more affectionate and attached but trust me it’ll happen 😁❤️

[@softballgeek69]

Finally a dad’s side. Your videos are the best 🥺

[@kelseyalvesdorosario4422]

With every child you have... the easier it gets! Which makes you want more children 😂 I just had my 3rd girl 3 months ago.. and my husband and I are already discussing the 4th... it’s nice to see partners and new parents talk candidly about parenthood. It’s nice to see a new father so caring to his baby girl 😘

Cody talking about how he doesn't feel different as a dad than he did before and how it still doesn't really feel real because of it is exactly how I've felt as a mom and I had my baby over a year ago lol
