Im starting to struggle and when I saw a thread from a dad saying how much he did it clicked how little my husband does. He wo mnt do anything unless I specifically ask and takes baby an hour every now and again, does nothing at night. While I get I'm bf I also express. He gets grumpy that he's woken in the night but goes back to sleep while I continue feeding changing etc. He works Mon-Fri and I'm on at leave but I take out boy out to groups play have development time and struggle to get him to nap during the day. I have no other help or support and He's 2 months now. I'm exhausted and stressed and it affecting my milk supply :(

My question is, how is the division of labor in ur home? Who does what? Am I asking too much?

Baby 10 months, partner works 2 days a week and takes baby to work so easier. But she usually gets up at 6 with baby I get up at 7ish get ready for work and then take baby while she gets ready. After work I will cook or partner may have prepped something if she has time or is making baby same. Then I will give bath whilst she makes bottle, then bottle and cuddles with partner until baby is asleep whilst I tidy house from the day. Weekends both usually get up have family time going for breakfast etc then i usually spend around 2 - 4 hours every weekend doing DIY as we're renovating. It's hard work and tiring for both, I think it depends what job you do as well I work with data and numbers and can be very tired after work but my partner has the baby all day everyday and that's probably a lot more stressful imo we just try to share everything and don't really think either does more or less.
