[quote=Anonymous]OP,

Based on your many responses, you have a very controlling husband.

1. Insists on an immaculate house with everything put away at the end of the day.

2. Insists you maintain a pumping schedule

3. Insists baby can not cry and disturb him during his work day

4. I am guessing he also has thoughts about what you prepare for meals (since you seem to be preparing all of them)

It is not your baby that is difficult, it is your husband. I think you are going to need to sit on all of this and really think about it.

Stop the pumping schedule. If you are having to do this much work to maintain your supply right now, when you head back to work, you'll never keep it up. It is okay for baby to have formula. Soon your baby is going to be starting solids anyway.

My recommendation is have your husband make his own breakfast and lunch. Start putting baby to sleep in the crib (husband will have to adjust), and introduce formula. If your husband is the neat freak, he can do the pick up at night. I'd also give him laundry, he could do this while working.

You are getting a lot of flak from people, but I think a lot of us recognize that your husband is very controlling and not the nice guy you insist he is. Before kids, you may not have realized how much you accommodate him because it was easy. A child can't accommodate your husband's rigidity, so you are getting the brunt of your husband's frustration. He probably needs therapy.

You mentioned you don't drive. Time to become more independent. Use your weekend time to pick up this skill and take classes, you husband will be forced to watch the baby.[/quote]
