Re: Not interested in snarkiness
You can vent if we don't have to analyze your post word by word to figure out what the hell you're trying to say.
We all feel unappreciated from time to time. But man up, drop your kid off with your husband and leave the fvcking house if you need to.
And for god sake learn to spell and type!

You were snarky & you were very rude. Let me explain further, my daughter has had a sleep regression the last 2 months & we just went through a move days ago & husband change of jobs so maybe this is why I am not thinking straight.
I EBF also and my daughter recently stopped taking bottles as well.
DH goes into work at 1pm and doesn't get home until midnight. His job is very demanding, but he still helps rock her back to sleep if she wakes up in the middle of the night and gets up with me in the mornings at 6-7 am to help with DD.
He spends almost all his time with her until he has to leave for work. If she needs to nurse I take care of that and then she's back spending time with daddy.
He would never dare to say that raising OUR daughter was my job alone. He has just as much part in taking care of he as i do.
Your husband needs a swift kick in the a** and a reality check. I really wonder why women end up with men like this.
Take time for yourself (even if its just a few hours in between your daughters nursing times) and leave her with your husbands.
Its HIS job to take care of his kid too.

USarmywife! I remember you.
I also don't remember you typing like that on a normal basis.
Snoop, you were being a giant biitch.

Well said.
It is not fair for him to tell you to stay home and then throw his job in your face. He is still a parent. DH and I both work and we both pitch in with Alex.
I EBF as well and while A does not refuse bottles, I usually nurse him if I am home. DH cooks dinner while I nurse A and usually cleans while I watch him or if he has a light work day. He does his bath every night, and while I put him to bed, he makes the bottles the next day. When A was still getting up at night, DH would either offer to go up and see if he could help or would sometimes come up with me and keep me company if A was being especially fussy.
That is not mean to be snarky, but to show you that your DH is wrong and needs a reality check. I also agree with sookie, stand up for yourself- you're not asking for anything extraordinary.
OP, to respond to your original message, I agree with the ladies who have said that you need to stand up for yourself.
The baby is yours AND your husband's.
And, for the record, I find my life much easier when I get to go to work and come home to take care of DD. When I have to stay home with her all day, I end up WAY more stressed and exhausted.
OP, I didn't read the original post, but I think I get the idea. I EBF and E won't take a bottle. I went back to work part time at 4 months freaking out about it since I'm gone 12 hours.
Guess what? E still doesn't take a bottle, but he does just fine. He uses a sippy cup fairly well. H stays with him 1 day/week, and it has been the best thing ever. He appreciates me way more, since now he knows how hard it is to take care of a baby by yourself. He helps out more when we're both home now too. My point is, you can still get out even though you EBF, and your H needs to learn how to take some responsibility. So, I agree with PP's, stand up for yourself and make him do it!
I?ve got her on a post-it.
