Oh, my gosh, this sounds so familiar. Good grief it is frustrating! I'm livid with my husband today for telling me, for the second week in a row, that he is going rock climbing after work tonight (we both work FT and have an 8-week old). He gets home late from climbing, after the baby and I are in bed, and I am the one who has to pick our son up, unpack and repack his daycare bag, and portion out his pumped milk into labeled bottles for the next day. Last week, he went climbing for the first time, and PROMISED he'd be home by 8:30 pm to help with the baby and household things before the next morning, but he came home at 10:00, after I texted him at 9:00 asking where he was. His excuse? He "lost track of time". First of all, he should have kept his phone with him. We have a newborn, and what if I'd needed to reach him. Secondly, a promise is a promise.

Then, he unexpectedly got Mother's Day weekend off b/c a coworker told him he should trade with her to spend it with me, since it was my first mother's day. He didn't get me a card or flowers, nothing. He promised to pay for a massage some time, but I'm the one who has to book it and plan it, and haha when do I have time to do that when I'm breastfeeding our son and can't get away easily.

Then, on the weekdays that he has off from work, instead of spending the day with our baby, he has chosen to drop our son off at daycare for half the day so that he can golf. His reasoning? "He'd just be sleeping anyway, so I figured I'd go." The baby does not sleep all day, and I'm livid that he'd choose to spend the day selfishly repeatedly instead of bonding with our son.

Ladies, PLEASE tell me that it gets better once your baby gets older and can talk/interact more??? Not carrying his weight around the house is one thing (he's always been lazy to some extent), but not spending time with the baby is what really pisses me off.
