Husband golfing

DH and I have a six month old baby. Prior to baby arrival he golfed one day in the week and one day at the weekend. Due to a chronic addiction in his youth he attends meetings three evenings per week which takes him out of the house for about 3.5 hours each of those evenings (I am fully supportive of this as he has been sober for 18 years now).
AIBU to think two days golfing for 5.5 hours and three evening meetings per week totalling 10-11 hours is unreasonable. I have stupidly fallen into a trap of doing all night feeds, generally taking care of everything to do with baby and I haven’t had a sleep in except four times since baby was born. I don’t have time to go and get coffee with my friends, socialise or anything. Even when I’m going to do the shopping the baby is with me: I’m exhausted but I don’t know if IBU. Thanks

Of course you're not being unreasonable

You have to ask why either of you think its acceptable for your child's parent to do no parenting?

YANBU. I'd be expecting him to play less golf.
