Just another husband rant
My baby is 8 months old. My husband is working and I’m currently on maternity leave for another 2 months. During the week, he and I wake up at the same time (7am). He gets ready to work from home and I wake up the baby. He then works until ~6pm. In the evening, we mostly share caretaker duties and do bedtime routine together.
On weekends, I wake up with the baby at 7am. Every. Weekend. Yesterday, we had to leave at 10am for some plans we had. I asked him what time he was going to wake up. He said 8:00. He rolls out of bed at 8:45, takes a poop, eats breakfast, then goes to take another poop and shower. At this time, it’s 9:15. I say I also need to get ready, so he says okay I’ll do this and then you can get ready. He’s done at 9:45 which gives me 15 mins to get myself ready. I don’t have enough time to shower so I just change and put some make up on.
Today, he wakes up at 9am. He says hi to us, makes and eats breakfast in peace and goes to take his 15 minute shit. He then goes to the basement to turn the World Cup game on. ZERO thought around “my wife has been awake with the baby since 7, maybe I should offer to take the baby so she can have a break/change her clothes/brush her teeth”.
I just feel like he doesn’t think about me at all. I don’t get to sleep in, I don’t get to take a 15 minute poop without asking him to take her, I don’t get to just have a shower whenever I want. I have brought this up before but it’s been a while. I think the resentment is also growing because I have done every night wake since she was born, and he hasn’t washed a bottle in months. I also plan and feed her every meal, as well as clean her and get high chair up. I have recently been on his ass for some things (like never putting his dishes in the dishwasher), and at one point he mentioned that I was looking for things to be mad about. I feel like if I bring this up, he’s going to think I’m being naggy. I know I need to communicate better but I’m just tired of being frustrated and disappointed.
