I’m going to lose my bloody mind. FTM to a 7mo and his routine is nowhere near where I would like it to be because my partner 1. Leaves it all to me 2. He Prioritises convenience over what’s best for the baby and 3. He Sees all my suggestions as an attack on his parenting. If I hear one more time “oh can you do it you’re just better at it” I’m going to snap. Tonight he was adamant on putting our son to bed which I was grateful for because I was in the middle of a project (first time getting to do one since before the baby came). I was apprehensive about him doing bedtime because it’s a pretty set routine but I said thank you and left him to it. Fast forward 30 minutes and baby is not asleep, he’s watching tv (something I hate and have said countless times) while my partner is on his phone. It’s now 1.5hrs past his bed time, still awake and I’m livid. I don’t want to say anything to my partner while I’m this angry because I will say something I regret and make this worse but bloody hell just listen to what I say, pay attention to his routine or get out of my way and let me just do it! AHHHH

Im in the exact same boat. I ended up not asking for anything from him and do everything myself. I am exhausted but my baby (5month old) has his routine now. Had it for around 2 months now and is always well rested, happy and only wakes up once a night for a feed then hes up around 6ish for the day.
