We've got two ds, 23 months and 5 months and I'm fed up doing EVERYTHING myself. Ds2 is ebf and up a fair few times in the night so I do all the night wakings. I also deal with toddler when he wakes in the night. DH sleeps in the spare room. For a while DH would get up with the baby in the morning if he woke up early but he's recently stopped doing even that. He's away with work alot (not his fault I know) but having worked solidly for the last 3 weeks (not a single day with us) he is going to a fucking wedding on his own next weekend- no children allowed. I'm just at the end of my patience with the whole thing. I do all the bills and financial stuff, washing, grocery shopping. I could count on one hand the number of times in the last 5 months he's taken both of them so I could have a sleep or do something for myself. He seems to think I make a mountain out of a molehill when I say how hard it is looking after the 2 boys on my own 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Plus we've just moved to a new area for his job so have left behind all my friends. Sorry for the rant. Just sick of it all at the moment. Feel like running away and never coming back if I didn't love the wee ones so much

Book a weekend away and leave him to it. Rinse and repeat once a month. It's what I did (technically I travelled to work those weekends) and sh is just as capable of parenting as I am. Just arrange time away/ out and they work it out pretty fast.

I had a bottle refuser as well. I gave up breastfeeding. That sorted it out pretty quickly.
