Anyone starting to get frustrated with there significant other? Our daughter is 6 weeks and I feel like I have to beg him to help me. I’m on mat leave and he’s back to work, so in his mind he doesn’t think he needs to help as much now.

I think he’s frustrated because my daughter settles easier with me, but I still want him to try. He’ll just give up and let her cry forever instead of trying to bounce her or sing her songs. It just feels like he’s being lazy.

I’m honestly at the point where I don’t even want to ask for his help because he is half ass’s everything.

Any help mamas?!?

Update: thank you all for the amazing feedback. I love having this village of mamas to share frustrations and receive honest feedback. My husband and I had a long conversation this weekend about how we could split responsibilities moving forward. We literally wrote out our roles/tasks, so there was no miscommunication.

Opening this line of communication allowed my husband to express his frustrations/stress about the new baby. We talked through different techniques he could use and I think we both walked away feeling more prepared to raise this little human.
