Can I do a DH vent?!

in Babies: 0 - 3 Months

I always read everyone's and totally see me DH in half of them!  So I figured I"m annoyed enough today that it is my turn:(

I go to Target and leave DS for a whole hour today.  I haven't even been gone 10 minutes and DH calls all frustrated.  "He has cried since you left so what do you want me to do?  I'm just going to put him in his crib and make him CIO til he passes out".  Um excuse me?  Why don't you figure it the f out? 

Try feeding him what I left in the fridge or actually soothing him!  I feel like anytime I leave them alone I worry about him getting frustrated and leaving DS to cry!  Um jacka%$ husband he isn't even 2 months old obviously something is wrong.  So he fed him and then of course he was fine.

Don't get me wrong, he is normally great with DS and helps in other ways.  I just get annoyed when he doesn't even try to soothe him when its so obvious that DS is tired and needs sleep, not to be bounced and half thrown in the air.  Then when he just screams because he is overtired saying "well what's wrong with him" and then handing him to me.  Of course he then calms down and is asleep within 5 minutes.

Or for me to have to say "can you take him while I do this or that?".  He could offer sometimes!  Ooh and how he always complains about how tired he is when he does not a thing at night since I'm BF and then comes home from work and takes a 2 hour nap.  I've seriously never seen a 35 year old man who needs as much sleep as he does as I'm bleary eyed trying to get stuff done. 

Ok thanks..vent over.

    Ditto. I was telling my friend the other day that sometimes I hate men and wish I had married a woman . . . but then I guess I wouldn't have DS. *le sigh*

    I have the exact same problem.  The fact that he just puts her down and ignores her REALLY pisses me off.  It's like why did you even have a baby if you're not able to soothe her?  Oh yeah... because he forgot to tell me he was going to drop it all on me.  That's why.  People warned me about this but I kept telling them my DH was different & he wouldn't do this.... WRONG!

    DH will hold LO whilst she cries and not do anything to soothe her. He'll just hold her and look at her.

    When I say, "ummm why don't you try and soothe her" he says, "I'm just seeing if it will pass and she'll settle herself down"

    Umm what?? Babies don't work like that.

    My DH seems to think the baby is an adult but just very little, who, unless it's something like being hungry, can sort out her own problems
