Am I being unreasonable for being so annoyed at my coparent for not supporting DS head when picking him up. DS is 2 month old and although he has fairly good head control he still needs support when picked up. My ex partner has a few time picked him up without fully supporting him and I have slightly brought it before and he somewhat brushed it off.

However, recently he picked DS up from lying down and his head was hanging back, I casually asked if he could support his head when picking him up, no irritation just a general request and his response was something like "he was stretching". Baring in mind I spend all day with DS as he is exclusively BF and me and his dad are separated, I said "I don't know why you have to argue why can't you just say yeah okay and I know what stretching looks like". He then responded with "I do support him" and I just said "I just watched you not". He just left muttering something I couldn't understand and shut the door.

He sees DS for about 2 -3 hours of the day so I know it's not all the time but it's a concern and a growing frustration of mine as he has he is often reactive or defensive when I bring up something thats an issue and it's driving me nuts.

Thanks x
