On maternity leave, DS is 3.5 weeks old (bloody gorgeous little thing!).
I'm loving my leave. I'm finding it very tiring but have wanted a baby for so long and after many miscarriages, I wouldn't dream of complaining.
I get on with things during the day. Try to cook myself a meal at lunch, do a bit of housework when he's sleeping, catch a 30 min nap here and there. I'm always doing something.
DP gets home from work and sits on the sofa. I plonk DS on him for cuddles. DP now thinks he's immobile. Asks me to get the nappies for him from upstairs, to get him a glass of water, to turn the oven off, answer the door etc. I got annoyed with him and replied with 'you know your son is portable?'
Ever since he has walked around the house acting as though it's a struggle to pick something off the floor or to turn a tap on whilst simultaneously holding his very tiny child.
AIBU to find this really quite pathetic and to wonder how he would cope with DS on his own for a whole day?
