Really fucked off with dp

We have a 7 year old dc and a 3 month old. Older dc had autism and is full on, also being assessed for adhd. Christmas has been exciting for them like all kids and he's gone on a bit today. Dp is currently moody I think because he's still hungover from Boxing Day ! On the whole he's good and helps me out. Not with housework though which I don't really mind as I am at home all the time so I do see it as my job.
What I do expect though is some help with the kids, which I usually get. But earlier on I asked him to hold the baby while I made a bottle and he was like "I might aswell wear a strap to me and strap the baby on me as you're always doing something, can you feed the baby etc" erm wtf !! I'm really annoyed, of course I'm always bloody doing something !!
I have the house to clean, food to make, clothes to wash, bottles to wash and sterilise, older dc to sort out, the list goes on !!
What really got me is he said I manage when he's at work, well yeah because I don't have a choice then do I ? But why should I leave the baby to scream in the bouncer while he I sat there watching tv?
He's really made me feel like I'm lazy or something and just landing the baby on him because I cba which I know isn't try at all but it's the whole attitude he's had about me asking him to have his baby while I get things done. Just feels really fucking sexist, even my 7 year old piped up and said yeah the woman shouldn't do everything that isn't fair !!

If dp's usually good then this could be a one off, though you are well within your rights to be narked at him.

If this is the thin end of the wedge then you may have to rethink the relationship. Only time will tell.

Meanwhile, tell him how you feel so he's in no doubt and watch carefully as to how he reacts and how he behaves in future.

Mae West advised us all to keep a diary so follow her wise words. It will tell you what's going on.
