So I'm home on maternity leave. It's not decided if I'll extend my leave into actually staying at home. My partner works for the family, 40-45hrs a week, and usually gets 2 days off.

I accept that my primary role now is to take care of the baby. However, can I not expect my partner to pitch in occasionally when he's at home ? For example, today was his day off. He didn't help with the baby at all. If the baby wanted a bottle, I had to put literally both baby and bottle in his hand. I'm in the kitchen washing dishes, and i hear the baby crying on the monitor. My partner is in the room with the crying baby watching tv. Like wth? I had to stop another chore to check on the baby while he watched a movie?? He didn't make a move to check the baby (it was a dirty diaper).

I get he wants to rest when he gets off of work, but a hand here and there (especially when I'm doing other chores) would be appreciated. Is that's too much to ask? How do I get him on board?
