Wife mulls baby contract for husband

DENVER, Jan. 6 (UPI) -- A Colorado woman who admits to over-thinking things considered preparing for motherhood by having her husband of 19 years sign a baby contract.

Renata Bauman said that when she finally decided she was prepared to have a child, she was concerned her husband, Nick Rosen, would not adequately meet his parental responsibilities. Her answer, The Denver Post said Sunday, was an actual baby contract.

With Bauman due to give birth in May, the former corporate litigator took the contract very seriously.

"(A) You will take my various parenting concerns seriously, e.g., not blow them off, laugh them off, refuse to discuss or consider them with an open mind," the contract read. "(B) You will agree to be responsible for an equal share of the childcare and parenting responsibility -- as those things are defined by me."

But when it finally came down to signing the document, the Post said Bauman gave Rosen a pass and chose to focus on trust rather than insisting in getting it in writing.
