My husband once said something similar when I was 1st trimester with our first and feeling miserable. I told him, if you think Im the type of person to just fake not feeling well to get out of doing stuff, then you dont know me as well as I thought. That stopped the comments, because Im not a lazy person, why would I suddenly decide to chill and make excuses? Phrasing it that way I think helped him realize he was being ridiculous.
Husband says I am lazy
My little girl is 10 weeks old and its our first baby. at the start of it all my husband use to change nappies at night help with cooking and looking after my little one when I asked.
But recently he has been complaining evertime I ask him to do anything. Even if I ask for a simple glass of water while breastfeeding.
He says I am using the little one as a excuse to do nothing. I still clean and cook every second night when she sleeps . He says he don't want to look after her because then I take my time and its boring..... Like wtf
He also recently stopped smoking. Not sure if that might be waht is make him such an ass.
Anyone else had this experience? Or has any advice for me.

I’ll say my husband says it does get boring for him with a baby. I think it’s common for some men to struggle with this stage of life. However, that NEVER stops him from helping me out when I need it. Everything else isn’t okay. Stopping smoking could play a part in the change. It is also possible for men to have PPD. I’d have a conversation objectively about the changes you’ve seen in him. Maybe approach it more as observations than accusatory to have an honest conversation.
