That said, if my wife was off on mat leave, she got up and just let me sleep more often than not. Since the midnight feedings are a thing of the past now, I am most often the one to get up and deal with night time issues.

I always got up, went to get the little animal, and changed the diaper. Early on there is so little that a dad can do, it is nice to be involved. I also dealt with the "non-sleeping" phase. For the daughter it was not fun, the boy didn't have those issues.
I honestly can't understand dad's that don't take an active role. The whole "my wife will do it" attitude is stupid, and short sighted.
