Name change, but looking for some advice. Basically I am on Mat Leave and have a 7 month old baby. Things in my relationship haven't been great. My husband seems to get angry a lot easier etc. So he works for himself at home, doesn't handle stress very well. Our routine is that he gets up with the baby in the morning, 7.30. He will make baby breakfast and bottle, baby plays. I head down around 8.30, after getting showered and dress and we eat breakfast. He starts working at 9/9.30. I do most of everything in the house, he will cook dinner and at a push do dinner dishes (usually in the morning). He works until late at night, most nights. Works a bit on weekends also.
The issue is I have been out Sat, Mon and tonight at around 5.30/6. So he has had to feed baby dinner, bath him and put him to bed, which he never is responsible for. I mentioned to him that my friend can only got the gym tomorrow at 5.30 and would he mind if I went at that time. He is pissed off with me and said he is doing everything and I am not helping him. That he needs help, he can't cook and care for baby. Keeping in mind, at the weekends, I still do majority of it all. He has never taken baby out on his own for a few hours or the day. I haven't left him on his own for the day with the baby either. He always said working for himself allowed us flexibility. He doesn't have core hours, it can be done whenever and he mostly works later on as he concentrates more. AIBU in asking for him to do a few bedtimes in the week? This isn't every week either, just a few things have come up.
