Need Serious Advice

Nicole

Me & my boyfriend are in a serious, committed relationship & lived with each other before we had our baby. I'm a SAHM & he works 8-10 hr days. Our daughter is 1 month old. When he comes home he barely spends time with her. When he does, he complains or gets EXTREMELY annoyed when she's upset (simply because she's hungry or gassy).

Today he got off work way earlier & his mom (we live with her temporarily), gave our daughter to him since I was cleaning & when he came home he didn't even say hi to her. When she was getting upset since she was hungry, he kept having an attitude & said he was just tired of baby sh*t. I argued with him & said, "I'm sorry you have to be an adult & a parent & listen to her. You barely can handle 10 minutes with her & I spend 24/7 caring for her, no time for myself, & clean & cook for you.

He apologized later but says he's bored with his life because our daughter is boring since she can't interact with her even though he absolutely loves her & me as well. He pretty much doesn't want to interact with her because there's "no point in it" when she can't do anything yet.

How do I go about dealing with this?? How do I approach a conversation without getting upset or angry?? He wants to be a parent but doesn't really seem to want to right now because she's so little.
