Just need to vent..I take care of the baby 24/7. I get up with him multiple times a night, I take care of him all day long on top of cooking and cleaning. I don't ever get time to myself. My husband on the other hand does as he pleases. He has hobbies that he does when he's not at work and he just recently joined a gym and goes 5 days a week. I'm beyond frustrated because I would kill for just an hour a week to do something I enjoy but I don't get it. I brought it up to him and he said that's what maternity leave is..taking care of the baby. I feel like I'm a single mother in the sense that I do everything on my own without a break.

What an 'asshole' thing to say. He truly is ignorant and is trying not to understand. Sigh. I would say talk to him but it's clear that u have..

@pnutbutta, yea I love him but he comes from a very European family. His dad is the type of man that thinks the wife should be the one to take care of the home and everyone in it. My hubby is usually pretty good but occasionally that attitude comes out.

I went through this with my husband with both of my kids. Once they are a year old he changes and will watch them so I can go out....just hold out or find a good babysitter!

Sorry but maternity leave does not mean no time for mummy to breathe. Tell him it is actually much easier to work than taking care of human being 24/7. Since he is the dad he should contribute to your well-being by taking care of his own son.Let him know that if mummy is not feeling good and is tired it will have an impact on his son.

Ya that’s a pretty shitty thing to say to you when you ask for a break. Not fair, my husband has never been like that. He’s very good, you both choose to have a child! Care for your child when he is home from work should also be equal not gym first. Your own self care is important! You can’t take care of others if you don’t take care of you! I hope he realizes this.
