UGH Husband Vent

OK I get it I know I have to get up to feed LO at night -I'm breastfeeding. So this morning LO was fussing and husband got out of bed. I thought he was going in to check on her. After an extended time -I thought she was still whining because she was getting her diaper changed, I got up to check on her and husband's on the couch no baby. WTF! So I go in to grab her, change her and then get set up to feed her-Requiring me to walk past husband in the living room. And I was huffy-to which husband responds what are you mad? No dipshit not at all. So I tell him that it just would have been nice if he had check on her. To which he responds- I don't have boobs I can't feed her. But could you have at least changed her or comforted her?? Or asked me if I wanted to feed her a bottle (I pump a couple times/day after I feed her). Then he has the balls to say I didn't get up because she was crying I got up because you were tossing and turning and I couldn't sleep. ARG! sigh at least he said he was sorry before he left but sometimes I just don't think he gets it.
Like when LO cries for an extended time he either -hands her off saying i don't know what she wants or -acts like shes crying just to piss him off. Seriously she's a freaking baby. She's not old enough to push your buttons. And if she's crying try to fix it. I mean how do you think I feel all day when she's fussing and I'm all on my own. At least when he's home I'm here to give him a break if needed.
So yesterday I come out of the baby's room after pumping (husband was supposed to be looking after LO) and I check kitchen where husband was and no LO. Went to living room and checked bouncer and no LO. ???? Next notice a laundry basket upside down on the floor...WITH LO UNDERNEATH!!!! AGAIN WTF!!! His response? she was fussing and I put her in time out and she likes it. ?!?!? Now I know he was kind of joking and she was quiet under there/not upset. But seriously??
Ok sorry for the vent sometimes I just wonder about him.

Re: UGH Husband Vent
He had a laundry basket over her? What in the world would make him even think of that?!
Your DH is in for a wild parenting ride since it seems he has no clue, lol. Maybe he should take a parenting class. Either that or is just one of those men that seriously have no idea how to take care of a newborn baby but are awesome with toddlers and what not.
Honestly I think it's this exactly I don't think he ever really helped with his younger siblings until they were older. He's looking forward to toddler stage I think cause he's great with our nephews. I think he just needs to realize that it's going to be a while before they can "play" together right now she needs him to do all the work/caring and help mommy out a little more.
