Partner helping out

Hi everyone
I just wanted to hear some other people's experiences. How much do your partners help out with baby after coming home from work?? My baby is 6 months old and I feel as though I do everything myself, my partner has never got up in the night , has never bathed her alone, and very rarely gives her a bottle. I feel like I've reached a point where I can't cope , I'm so exhausted and my partner doesn't seem to understand and he seems to think that because he works he doesn't have to help out. I don't know what to do , and on top of this he seems to expect sex every day and I am just not interested at all! Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this too?
Thank you x

As my husband keeps reminding me, men are funny creatures who need to be told haha I have to admit my husband has been great with our DS who's 16 weeks. He will do 50/50 in the evenings and we alternate bath and bedtime nights. Because DS is bottle fed husband does a lot of the evening feeds and then does any night feeds at weekends. We also have daddy day care Saturday, luckily he has four or five friends with small children so they meet up for coffee (or the pub) and pretend to be young and cool with kids in toe. But I have had to point him (tell him) what I need him to do as sometimes he just doesn't get what I need - he freely admits this is a man thing.

If I were you OP I'd have a chat with your husband and ask for help where you need it. Good luck
