I'm gonna guess that she's happily startled because, for example, mine hit his weed pen outside every 15 minutes and fell asleep on the couch and never once came near me. I think that my experience (or smth similar) is pretty common.

I'm not trying to start a damn war of the roses, and apparently this is NOT the correct answer (see the next comment below mine). Just popped in with my stupid, obviously incorrect thought about what this could mean. So chill with calling me a stupid whore.
Unfortunately seems to be the case. When both my sons were born i was there every second i could (c section so had to be oht for the cutting part) staying overnight and changing diaps etc. the nurses were very complimentary and i thought i was doing the bare minimum. Hit me with a wave of sadness:loneliness.
I've had five kids now and the amount of praise I've received from nurses and random women at parks, stores, etc over the years for me doing what feels like the bare minimum of being a dad is depressing. "Oh wow, you brought your kid into urgent care and know their medical history? Good job!" "Look at dad being a pro at changing diapers!" "Wow, dad can swaddle a baby!" Just... Ugh
1000% same for me. Like how could you not know or participate in the life of someone you care about let alone love more than anything else in the world.
