Need perspective here, my partner has anxiety disorders so I guess a lot is because of this but he worries so much so that I have come to not take him seriously on any concerns he has mainly as it annoys me.
Now the reason it annoys me is that I'm tired and worn out being a new first time mum (LO is 4.5 months)
The things he worried and faffed about recently are:
touching baby after eating a runny egg sarnie, some of the raw egg (his words) was dried on his hands and if he touched her then she might get on hands, hands go in mouth and that's not good for her (salmonella or something).
Putting baby too close to coffee table on floor, while I sit with her in case something falls on her, obviously I don't have hot drinks near her.
Turning a corner with baby in pram and sun in her eyes for a few seconds (he panics and says quick be careful)
There are others but this is just the last 24 hours.
I don't know if he is too much or I am too slack.
By the way he does currently receive treatment for his anxiety disorder.
How can I handle this better? I tend to get snappy and angry as I'm living on not much sleep at all

To be annoyed by DP and his constant worries over nothing?
