Nappy Argument - Again

I posted a month ago about how I made DH change one of our babies nappies and he got really funny about it.

Last weekend, she needed changing and I needed to go to the loo so I asked DH if he'd do it and he said yes so I thought oh great, passed him to her and went to the toilet. TMI but I was on my period and it took me a little longer than usual.

Eventually I heard him get up with a sigh and take DD to change her, I went downstairs straight away because I could sense he wasn't happy, and he started saying to her "lie still!" he wasn't shouting at her but he didn't have a nice or joking tone with her. I went in and asked if he needed me to do anything, he said no so I went out but then he shouted at me to come and do it. I told him to wait while I came back, and I went and took over and did it.

I feel awful for DD that he was like this again with her, I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt that last time was a one off, someone on the last thread said he was training me not to ask and I didn't want that to happen, but it has.

We talked about it afterwards and he said he isn't lazy, that he does stuff for her, that he'd had her in the carrier earlier and that he felt like I just want to "make him" do the nappy. I said it wasn't that, that I just needed to go to the loo, if he is feeling angry about doing it he should have told me before etc.

I can never ask him to change another nappy now can I.

Why are you making a grown man breakfast and a packed lunch when you’ve got a young baby to deal with?

Can’t he make a sandwich and a bit of toast?

WTF did I just read?

What would happen if you didn't make his breakfast and lunch?
It seems very transactional rather than working as a team.
