AIBU to get annoyed that hubby thinks that if he does one thing for the baby that is his work done?

If I'm for example cooking tea, and my 5 month old DS needs his tea, my DH will feed him. Then if afterwards he needs a nappy change, even if I'm still cooking, DH will say "Well, I've just fed him, you can change him", even though I'm busy. I have a huge pile of ironing to do this evening, but DH is insisting that I bath DS as he fed him his tea.

He seems to think that if he does one thing then that's all he has to do, he doesn't seem to realise that I do everything for the baby and our two older children day in, day out.

Grrrrr

You are being very unreasonable. You don't want the poor love to tire himself out, do you??

sorry but i had to laugh, my dp says that, and i never realised how utterly irritating it was until i read that!

Of course YANBU!

Jut tell him that the baby needs more than 2 things doing a day and if he is only going to do one and you he same, what then?

No, not all men are like this. Mine probably does more things than me when we are both here.

Mine used to take the baby with a frown, to 'help' me, then rush back and bung him into my arms as soon as he started crying, looking all martyr like. Drove me bloody nuts. (With all 3 babies btw).

YANBU. My DH is good with our DS but sometimes if I say can you change him or something, I get "why can't you do it?" Does my fecking head in!!!!

YANBU. I love it when, on the rare occasion that DH does breakfast and I get to take my beloved dogs out alone, he get in such a state (as does the kitchen)

he cant manage to feed children (ok they feed themselves but make cereal & toast), wash up, feed the cat and get himself a cup of tea. I come back to chaos and a very stressed DH saying "you're back, can you do...."

LOL, glad it's not just my DH!
