Wife not wanting to change sons diaper!

My son is 9 months old and my wife refuses to change any diapers. She has changed some but every time I am doing something or just need help and ask her to change Our son's diaper she always says no she hardly helps when I need her and also she will go nowhere near a poop diaper like it's not just my son why do I have to be the only one changing diapers. What are y'all thoughts?

That's absolutely not OK. My wife changed diapers when she was home. You need to have a conversation about why she won't and how it's affecting your relationship. This is part of parenting, and she needs to step up.

Every time I bring it up she just brushes it off and walks away all mad or she just tells me well this is what you wanted or we have a whole argument about it and she just walks off. I know I'm a SAHM but she works from home and doesn't have crazy hours she doesn't even want to take him a bath or put him to bed. Am I being unreasonable that I want her to help more or is it just my job because I don't work

She's actually been not working since January she's been looking for a job and I get that that's been hard.

I am a SAHM, my partner works full-time. Regardless, when he comes home from work, he tends to our son and helps me give him a bath, not just to give me a break, but also to spend time with his child. That’s where his priorities lie. I think that you know this isn’t normal nor okay. Please trust yourself, you are not crazy. My question though is why do your wife’s priorities not include your son?

I am also a SAHM and my wife works full time outside of the home. She always gave baths, did burpings, changed diapers, changed her clothes, fed her, etc. She's taking our now 5 year old to soccer right now while I stay home and get a break. These moments are also about her bonding with your son. If that isn't important to her, I'd be questioning what exactly is important then. And if she won't do her parenting responsibilities now, how is this going to be in 5 or 10 years time? That's in no way fair to you or your son.

She says she helps out in other ways like providing food shelter and she plays with him. She also helps when I ask but not in the way I need help idk I just wanted to know if it was just me that felt that this is not right I should also probably and that she does have mental health but she is on medication and is kinda trying to get help.

It was mutual
