[quote=Anonymous]Sounds like this is your first kid? If so, you're both in a whole new world so you have to cut each other lots of slack. I'd apologize for hurting him and share that you're learning too and don't really know how he can be helpful yet. Suggest taking 15 minutes to brainstorm together things he can own. Example - put him in charge of everything related to meals (planning, shopping, cooking, clean up). That plus all the newborn laundry and a night time feeding is a whole job. If there isn't much he can do (doubtful), then maybe he'll realize that he should structure his leave differently. Could be be three days at work and 2 off? That way you get some space while you care for the baby but also some relief when he can tap in while you get to take a real break or get out of the house alone? [/quote]
