Irritated by husband since having a baby!

My son is 6 months old, so I thought it would have improved! But everything my husband does really irritates me at the moment and I feel quite out of order for it, but I just can’t help it!

He will help out around the house if instructed on what to do, rather than out of his own initiative. He has gone back to work now after almost 5 months paternity leave and it’s just easier now he’s gone back because the baby and I have a proper routine.

This morning for example, I wanted a small lie in. We leave baby in the cot to play for about 20 mins in the mornings and baby is happy with it. During this time with baby monitor on, I will do some chores, put laundry on etc. When my husband does this, he games on his computer and I don’t know why but it just irritates me so much!

Can anyone offer advice? How do I get over this? Help!

Ask him to do chores without prompting - see what happens? Stop doing the chores yourself? Go and sit in your bedroom for an hour having a pamper session and leave him with the baby with no communication.
