Any new mums feeling under appreciated and taken for granted?

Anyone else feel like this sometimes? My OH can be great sometimes but other times I feel completely under appreciated and taken for granted. It's always just assumed that I will always be here to take the reigns and he barely asks if I have or would like to make any plans! I had my first night out since having my little girl who's 5months. I didn't drink a lot anyway as I'm breastfeeding and new I would still have to get up in the morning however my OH literally lay in bed whilst I got up with her - of course he booked a day on the lash next day as well so then not only was he out all day into late evening he was a broken man today laying in bed until late afternoon!! Knowing that I will just handle everything! I'm going back to work soon and he's taking over parental leave - I have a feeling I'll still be handling a lot of the baby stuff as well as working now!

Did you end up doing as you thought? A lot of the parenting / housework even when he took over on parental leave?
