My husband is an intelligent man. Truly. He impressed me everyday. He is educated, he works a complicated job in finance, and the man just built an entire office (very advanced woodworking). I am convinced he can do anything. That he WANTs to do.

He has NEVER offered to get up with our daughter or let me nap or anything. For a long time she wouldn’t drink from a bottle or sippy, but now she will. He always said how he missed feeding her. Well, it’s been three months since she started taking a sippy of breast milk...still he has yet to ASK or offer to feed her. He only does it Monday nights when I have class.

He won’t bathe her, or clip her nails, or apply diaper rash cream. He says he doesn’t know how and it’s MY thing. Seriously? He has never installed the car seat base. He has never taken her anywhere.

He tries to remain ignorant of key aspects to caring for her because he wants to be able to play dumb. Yet he wants another baby like right now! 🤦‍♀️

Most nights he only plays with her after work for maybe 45 minutes tops. He has no idea what goes into caring for our child, which is probably why he doesn’t respect all I do as a SAHM.

It should be noted, in situations where I don’t know something, he acts like I am crazy. I’m sorry, but the name of a power tool I never use or how to change a furnace filter is way different than applying some diaper cream to a butt. And the difference is, I let him teach me.

Rant over. Sigh.
