DP left his job about a month ago, and hasn't found a new one yet. Since he is at home all the time (and doing very little to find a new job but hey ho), I don't really think I'm being unreasonable to expect him to be doing a bit more at home.
My main problem is that he won't get up with the baby, or he will get out of bed and slam around so badly that I have to get up before he breaks something. He seems incapable of getting up and sorting the baby out without coming in and out of the bedroom a dozen times with stupid requests about clothes or nappies, all delivered in a really stroppy tone of voice like everything that's wrong with the world is my fault. I wouldn't mind so much if he was willing to say, get up in the night (DS is 7.5m and recently started crawling so has been waking for a nightfeed for the last few days) but he won't do that either!
While I understand he's tired at 6.30 in the morning, does he think I'm immune from it?! I just feel like this just shows a complete lack of consideration. Then again I am tired and stroppy, so maybe I overreact, but I don't think so. So tell me, AIBU?

To expect DP to get up with the baby now and again? (bit of a rant, sorry)
