My husband works a lot. I'm a new mom. He only helps when I ask him and sometimes he acts so put out when I ask. I am thankful that he works and that I get to stay at home with our baby but am I selfish for wanting a little help everyday? He was throwing it in my face that he held our baby for 3 hrs total today (keep in mind it was not all at once & this is not an everyday thing). Also, it was because I had to work on stuff for the baby (like laundry, installing baby stuff, ect).

You’re not selfish at all, you’re both parents and both have responsibilities to bring up the baby. He shouldn’t even need to be told to look after his child he should want to. He needs to grow up and fulfil his duties as a father holding a baby for 3 hours is nothing compared to what you do

My husband is the same way it is so sad and frustrating

Definitely have a sit down talk with him. It’s not selfish of you.
