I need honest opinions, which i know i will get here
I had a very long and exhausting labour plus 3rd degree tear. Very painful even to walk.
I am trying to establish BF and struggling so would really like it if i could JUST do that and look after/play my eldest.
AIBU to expect DH to do ALL the housework? just for a couple of weeks til i heal and get feeding established?
Or should we be sharing? he does a little bit(cooking and kitchen) but i am still doing all the tidying and washing and nappy changes. He is off work completely.
Another question does he really need any more sleep? I didnt sleep for 3 days AT ALL which needs a catch up then since being home i am obviously feeding/trying to feed through the night. I have about an hour all together broken sleep overnight. Then i have been getting 6am/7am-9.30am ish of unbroken sleep
He has been taking naps through the day on the couch or like now he came up at 9.30am to get "10 mins" he is still asleep and wont wake up til i wake him now baring in mind he has been asleep about 12-6
He hasnt done any housework baby has been asleep. eldest in front of tv
wdyt? let it go or tell him he needs to do more?
Thanks
