He has a bad habit of never being awake in the mornings.
prefers to be awake overnight so doesn't help out with new baby in the mornings.
He says it is because he works nights so is more awake at night naturally.
we never go to bed together.
His day always starts after 3-4pm and previous I would just do my own thing but now we have a baby I am feeling trapped and almost like a single parent at times.

Well put like that no -
I guess I shall just accept how things are and hope he might work less nights. He actually wants to pursue academic work which will mean he has to reduce the night work

He already only does 7 a month. You’d be better off talking to him more about your needs and unhappiness, sounds like the communication between the two of you isn’t great

Get rid

Because he works nights? That’s a bit harsh.

No because he needs to have some days where hes not nocturnal she shouldn't feel like a single parent every day.

Because he works some nights and chooses not to be involved at other times. Because of the industry where I live a large proportion of men I know including my son work nights (and more than 7 a month). They don't remain nocturnal on the days they don't work nights.
