I leave home really early for work (FT) I stay late sometimes (Doing my Masters online). Partner is a stay at home dad(new to uk), but he does nothing with our boy(13.5 months). Baby well cared for, good food and lots of long walk with daddy but i feel like he needs to interact with other kids. I feel so awful as I feel baby just stays up late waiting for me. Dont know what to do ðŸ˜

Could your partner take him to a baby group or swimming lessons? And no, you are not a bad mum x
Partner says he feels uncomfortable around many people

Your partner could take little one to a baby group (as said above) family centre ? A play group near you ? Swimming lessons ? Something to help them used to other kids and people X

These groups are never that busy, (particularly swimming lessons) & he won’t know if it’s busy unless he tries! Sounds like it would be good for you partner & baby 😊

Maybe the library? That way your partner doesn’t have to interact with other people if he doesn’t want to but there is still other little ones around usually for your baby to see

In answer to your question, you are absolutely not a bad mum. It sounds like you are doing your best during a tough time
