So me and husband have just had our second child, a now 7 week old DS but I'm finding getting DH to help infuriating.
He helps but usually only when I ask him. I feel like he treats our children like a burden at times.
Tonight we've come to bed and it's DH's 'turn' to do the nights which involves changing nappies and maybe heating a bottle of expressed milk or waking me to BF after he's done a nappy change BUT we ended up having a huge row as he refused to sleep on the side of the bed where the cot is and told me to wake him IF DS needs his nappy changing.
My frustration is he will then moan at being woken when I'm up anyway.
I do our DS 5 nights a week minimum as DH works away Monday-Friday. Am I being unreasonable wanting him to sleep beside our son so I can get a good few hours undisturbed sleep? DS is very grizzly and grunts in his sleep which is my husbands excuse for not sleeping next to him 1 night a week.
