DH has asked I do a bit more around the house now I’m on mat leave. Ok, fair enough BUT every time I’m doing a chore either
a) tells me I’m doing it wrong and criticises my way / timing (eg washing needs doing and I’ll get to it mid morning/lunch time but he thinks it should be first thing so it can be out on the line as long as possible whereas I’m timing it around DS’s feeds/naps/anything else I have planned for the day)
or
b) appears whilst I’m part way through and picks up the baby saying things like “oh, is Mummy ignoring you?” In a baby talk voice (obviously I don’t mind him picking up DS to stop him fussing but there’s always a comment iyswim)
He’s WFH full time and doing my head in!
I can either give full attention to the baby and get less done around the house but happier baby or DS can whinge a bit sometimes but more jobs get done
AIBU to tell him he can stop criticising or do it himself?
AIBU?
To think my DH can’t have it both ways?

Only on planet Mumsnet would someone say my DH thinks I need to hang the washing out earlier, and you get all these Stepford Wives chiming in that he's right
DH made a comment once about how I'd ironed a shirt. I've not washed or ironed anything of his since. Funnily enough, he learned a valuable lesson from it.
