Maddy and Jerry stay home all day while Mommy works. While Mommy was on maternity leave, it was Daddy at work. When I was the one NOT working - I did everything for Maddy - made bottles, did her laundry, and all the basics (feeding, changing, etc.). I woke up with her every single time in the middle of the night while he snored the night away. Now, that I'm working and he's NOT - I have to wake him up to tell him she's crying, I still am making all the bottles and doing her laundry. He basically just feeds and changes her. This is all ok with me because I love being a mom and taking care of my baby, except for last night...
We went to my parents house for dinner (they live 45 minutes away). There were no bottles made because there were no bottles clean to make (he agreed that he would at least run the dishwasher with the bottles) before we left. So, I washed one by hand and took some powder with us for Maddy last night. We didn't leave my parents house until 10:15 (because Jer and my dad were online looking at fantasy baseball shit). So, we got home at 11:00, and I'm tired and crabby and I know I have to put Maddy to bed (she is also tired and crabby and it was past her bedtime). So, he says to me on the ride home, "Don't forget you have to make bottles before you go to bed!" I was so flipping pissed because during the day yesterday, he went golfing and left the baby with his mother while I worked all day, but I did it because I love my daughter and she needs to eat and her father is an asshole.
So, that was just the beginning.... Maddy woke up around 5 a.m. to eat. I heard her crying and woke up snoring husband. He goes into her room and feeds her, but then plops her back in the crib to take a shit. As I'm trying to get back to sleep I hear her crying and crying. I get up and realize he's in the bathroom, so I opened the door and asked what the hell he was doing... He said, "Go give her the pacifier."
OK - so tell me why it is that when he was working he was constantly reminding me that he had to work and how I was home all day so I should do everything and now that I work, I still have to do everything while he sits on his ass all day and/or goes golfing? This kills me. Especially because he paints this picture to everyone that he's "Mr. Mom" and does everything around the house. Whatever. He's more like a baby-sitter. He takes care of Maddy while he has to and the second I walk through the door, he's off duty. Jackass.
