Rant - husband doing bare minimum

I asked the husband (rare occasion) to feed LG dinner, I prepped the food and handed it to him whilst I cook. He gave her a few spoonfuls and gave up as she was refusing. When I'd asked how he fed her, he hasn't put her in her highchair (which she's used to and knows its mealtime) and he was feeding her in his lap whilst watching a movie. I advised he tries again but in the highchair. Finished cooking to find them both sat no mealtime finished and baby not in highchair. I was fuming but stayed calm and just put her in the highchair and fed her the full meal which took like 5 mins only. I'm just so tired, frustrated of the lack of initiative and common sense? Anyone please advice how to go about this. He also has man flu so wanted to give him the benefit of doubt. So I've left him to be with her so I can have some alone time now. Just cannot be bothered. It's his child too but makes me feel like he is meeting less than half of parenthood standards right now.

I really really do feel for you I am in the same boat as you funny enough it’s my husband as well I just give up saying anything anymore and tend to just not even ask him to feed his son because he is the same he will put him on his lap to eat and my son knows that it’s mealtime in the High chair also and if I say don’t do something he will do it anyway Your not alone yesterday and the whole of this morning I had alone time because why should his son just interacted with me he is a dad also xx I’m sorry I don’t really have no advice but I’m in the same situation as you

@Danielle oh sorry to hear that! Hope it gets better for us. I'm tempted to have a sit down chat soon... just don't know how it's going to go

It really is pointless to talk to my husband because if I say something then it’s like I’m starting so I just don’t say anything any more and keep it all in xx hope your husband will understand you xx

@Danielle oh sorry and thank you
