Selfish?

Question

I started taking you guys advice on here when basically forcing my husband to help with the baby by handing her to him when I need to do something or just need a quick break. I woke up him around 10 o’clock to grab her because I needed to use the bathroom then I tried to call to wake him up just now (it’s 12 o’clock) I just want him to grab her so I can pump and make food. Am I taking advantage? Or am I being selfish? I feel like that may be a stupid question but I’m just so used to doing everything, I don’t want to go overboard.

Answer

Does he work night shift? Or is he a grown adult that sleeps in until noon & neglects his family duties?

Answer

It takes two parents to make a baby; there’s nothing wrong with expecting him to help with caring for the baby he helped make

Answer

You’re not taking advantage and your not selfish for having your husband be a parent to his child.

Answer

Talk to your husband about how you are feeling, that you feel an obligation to do everything. Ask him how he feels about you asking for help. Ask him if he thinks you are taking advantage of him. A conversation about it with him may take a load off of your mind more than a bunch of strangers telling you it is okay.
