Don't post here very often, but am in need of an outlet at the moment! My bf and I just got into a huge argument. I'm still on maternity leave and he works from home. You would think that since he's home everyday that he would help with the baby. Um, no! So earlier he took the baby into the living room and I thought he was going to actually hang out with her. I was busy pulling everything out of the messy cabinets and throwing crap away that his kids stuffed in there. Anyway, it seems like everytime I ask him to watch the baby he ends up pawning her off on his irresponsible 15 year old daughter. I'm not okay with that! So I go to check on the baby thinking he has her and he's playing freakin video games and his 15 has the baby AGAIN!!! Baby hasn't been fed or changed in a few hours! Am I overreacting?! I go back to work in a month and don't feel comfortable leaving my daughter with her own father. This makes me so upset! Advice please! =

Re: Vent! WTF?!
This.
Agreed. It's fine to vent to get the frustration out, but, ultimately, you'll need to talk this over with your SO if you want things to be any different. Like the other ladies have said, just because he's working from home, that doesn't mean he's able to drop what he's doing at a moment's notice to help with the baby. I like the idea PP mentioned of asking him to take a short work break so you can shower or get something quick done around the house (fold laundry, put up dishes, etc.). If you are not comfortable with your 15-yo stepdaughter watching DD, you need to either find a way to trust her, or talk to him about it.
