Am I being unreasonable?

My husband can’t seem to change a dirty nappy without needing my help, still!!! Our daughter is almost 17mo. Yes she’s very wiggly, but I was just sitting in her room organising it because she’s outgrowing all her clothes and I finally had a minute, and he goes “instead of just sitting there, you hear me struggling so can you help me?!?!” 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄 I do this SEVERAL times a day on my own. I never ask for his help. He’s been on his own with her before and has coped just fine. I’m just sick of feeling like everything falls on me all the time. I have to make all the decisions. I meal plan. I clean. I work from home. I ask for input and I get nothing so I have to make all the decisions still. He sees ME struggling and just sits there so I guess maybe it was karma for him 🙄 And now it’s getting to be dinner time so I have to stop what I’m doing yet again to get food sorted out for everybody.

hiii my sons dad has never even attempted a wee nappy let alone a poopy one they think we can do everything ourselves 😭

Definitely not good enough, he needs to wise up! Do you regularly leave him on his own with her? I just run out the door for nails or gym or to go to the post office or whatever and he has to figure it out! We take it week on week off to plan the meals and write the shopping list and the other person goes and buys it all. Tell him next week you’re in charge of meal planning

I'm in 2 minds here. Yes you should get time to yourself never mind to sort clothes and he should be able to take care of her on his own. But on the other hand there's no way I could fight my son for a nappy change on my own... that's one of the reasons I had to potty train early and when we still did lying down changes it was a given that if we were both home it was a 2 man job. Maybe suggest to him to YouTube how to change poop nappy standing up (take off over potty then sit on potty to wipe bum, flush poop together. I've only changed standing up since 12mo. My partner can also do it and can potty our child
