I gave birth to a beautiful little boy 6 weeks ago, and I'm not sure if I'm being selfish/postpartum hormonal, but I'm starting to think my husband isn't pulling his weight. I'm on maternity leave for 1 yr, but dealing with the little one is a full time job at the moment.
He works a stressful draining job, but it's only 9 to 5 (no emails or calls in the evening either). He generally gets home, makes dinner for us then tries to get out of doing anything else apart from maybe one little job like taking the bins out, or maybe feeding our son. He does spend lots of time with our boy, but I feel maybe he could give me a break in the evenings.
We live off his salary completely, and he's said I can stop work if I like, or I can continue working and we can pay for childcare, but I think he's expecting me to be able to hold down a full-time job on top of looking after the household. But then again, we do have a cleaner every week, so maybe I'm just exaggerating how much work it is?!
Should I expect more from him than this?
