@Lauren it’s so frustrating, and sometimes I just can not manage my emotions when it comes to things like this I just want to loose it ! Glad your partner is taking on more parenting now. He’s good in some ways but like you it’s usually because I have to ask/tell. Sometimes I just want him to get up and take the initiative - but I know that sometimes it’s hard for men when we do everything for the children because we just know what to do - but they should take on more of a role without us having to guide them!

I would be fuming!
He’s just selfish!!! He’s benefiting off all the unpaid labor you do for your family. If my partner was home alone with the baby for a week I would be so worried about them not getting enough sleep or having their basic needs met (even if I was working full time.) I’m so sorry you are going through this.
You BOTH had a child, you’re working or on standby 24/7. If he’s not splitting the load he’s being lazy and disrespectful. I would be beyond mad and this would impact my mood, the mood he created.
He doesn’t understand why you can’t take it out? I don’t understand why he can’t if it’s such a simple ask. Yeah he’s a dick. Once he gets home your work of managing everything at home ends and tasks become 50/50. Fuck giving him rest time. When do you get rest time? I’d hit the roof.
Yeah, he's just selfish.
