Just Need To Vent
So I originally just thought it was postpartum emotions but now 4 months postpartum and this is still bothering me. My husband just gets to do whatever he wants when he wants. He goes to work 9-3 and I watch our daughter and then we flip and I go to work 4-10. Every night he gets to game and wind down while I come home and bathe and feed the baby and then myself. Now I know it is pretty much motherly duty to be more of the primary caregiver but I need time for me to wind down too and I NEVER get it. Am I being too picky? It's just starting to really get to me and I have told him about this multiple times and it changes for a day or three and then it's back to this cycle😭

@jasmine exactly this!!! He should be bathing her and getting her to sleep for bed whilst you're at work. Then, when you get home, all you have to think about is yourself. You absolutely aren't being too picky. This is just wrong. He needs to start getting your baby into a bedtime routine. Mine is the same age, and in his cot asleep by 7.30-8 that way we both get downtime. I don't work either atm as im on maternity leave (uk), but my partner works full time, and he still takes baby and toddler out if I need a break. You're doing far too much. Also it's only mother duty to be the primary caregiver if the women isn't working or working less than the man but in your case you're working just as much as him so it should be 50/50

why won’t he feed and bathe her while you’re at work?? so by the time you get home she’s sleep and you both have down time for yourself and each other
