All my husband does when I ask him to look after the baby is rock her to sleep and then goes in a mood when I ask him not to and actually play with her.

What can I do?! In fed up saying it but her being asleep not at nap times is making my nights hell Angry

How old is the baby? Does he know how to play with her?

Stop flogging a head horse. He's not listening to you and clearly doesn't care that you have a shit night. Leave him to it and get support from elsewhere if you can to have a break. When he doesn't bond with his daughter because he's too lazy to play with her then that'll be on him. My DH was and still is very lazy with DD so I've stopped trying although fortunately demanding toddlers are great are telling it like it is.

How old is she? I think it can be tricky to know how to play with a baby, there is only so much you can do! She wouldn’t go to sleep if not tired?

My husband was crap with our baby when she was small but a combination of shared parental leave and baby becoming more alert improved things hugely.

Do you share nights? If he is the one getting up, then he'll be the one paying for it.
