I completely understand that not every man is like that but sometimes I see my partner as hopeless. I love him to bits he’s amazing and takes care of us but a few time already I asked him to do something small and got an answer “can’t do it now I’m holding a baby”, usually I just let it go as he’s working a lot but our daughter is teething so I’m on the edge and along with all the cleaning and sorting stuff I didn’t have a chance to eat so I asked him to make me a sandwich while I was hanging the laundry and heard that answer again, so I replied “okay, from now on don’t expect anything done at home because I’m holding a baby all day. You’ll come back from work and do everything”. In the end he made me that sandwich, but what is that answer for?
That was me just venting here but I want all of you to know to not take stuff like that for an answer and fight 😂

I bet a lot of us are like this! Including me! I think men aren’t very good at multitasking in general and mum’s already have that caring instinct. I care for my baby all day and maintain the house, cooking cleaning etc. and my partner finds it hard to do anything when he’s holding the baby. But you’re doing an amazing job! And I think it’s just a case of working through it and bit by bit giving him more responsibility with baby. My partner does a lot more since having this conversation and also benefits from having more 1-2-1 with baby x
yes, you’re completely right!

You’re welcome to rant with me, I completely understand!😂👍x
sometimes when I ask him to do something he’s not used to do like giving baby a bath, he looks at me like I did something to him and it’s so pissing me off 😂

They don’t have a clue do they haha! I had to remind my partner to wash bits he would miss and stuff😂😂
omg please, they always do everything just so it seems done, but when you look closer it’s a disaster! And then they say “you didn’t tell me how to do it”. Like if someone was telling me that stuff 😂

I’m sure this is why they think we ‘nag’😂😂
