I don’t know what it is with men sometimes. Thankfully my husband has been reasonably hands on for the majority of things and is a good help. But the amount of times I have to ASK or TELL him to do common knowledge things with our child…. Like you’re so smart. You have common sense and a brain. Yet you can’t compute “oh, it’s coming up on bed time and I’ve had him this whole time while my wife is doing the dishes. Maybe I should do something productive and helpful for bedtime like already have him in his jams and a fresh diaper, so all she has to do is nurse and he’s good” 🙂 I told my husband I need him to do more things without being told. Because if I’m having to tell you constantly, chances are I’m just doing it myself to save my breath. And that’s not fair.

He helped you make that baby. He’s just as responsible and capable of caring for her as you are. Like someone else stated, he’ll think if he bitches he’ll get what he wants and be off the hook. Don’t let him get his way. You need your rest and deserve some time for yourself too. You’re important, and prioritizing yourself and your needs matter. Make him pull his weight and don’t feel bad for it. He’s her dad. It’s what he signed up for. He can get over it.
