How to deal with this

Hi all, so how does everyone calmly talk with their husbands over the "whose days are harder" 😂 like I don't want it to be a fight or a battle over it. He says his days are harder and more stressful than mine are, which yes he has his own business and deals with lots of clients with his trade while I'm at home with our 7 week old baby. Like yes, I see his side and I do agree that it's stressful, but he also can't look after our baby without having a hard time and can't see my side 😅 I'm sure a lot of you are in/have been in a similar situation. I don't want it to be tit for tat, but rather just yes, both our days are hard, but he doesn't see it like that

Oh boy. Been there!! You're both on the same team and you should both be doing what's best for your baby. Whose day is harder doesn't matter. You'll both have hard days and you'll both have easier days. What's important is that you both show up for each other and for your baby. Men are so friggin competitive when it doesn't matter.

My husbands job is very physical & he comes home exhausted & then he helps out as much as he possibly can ...but, when your a SAHM your a Mum 24/7 every hour even if someone is on hand to offer help often Mum's take the lead in child care. Sometimes I'd like to eat lunch with two hands, or go for a 💩 without my child hanging off me lol It's not really comparable.
