[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would come across as "controlling" too, if my spouse was home with a 10 week old baby all day and i came home to a house covered with unnecessary toy mess, and my spouse was no longer able to put dishes in the DW because they were "so busy" holding a baby for 12 hours a day.

It's not controlling.  He's also tired and stressed (new baby! job! this transition isn't easy for men either), and on top of all that, it turns out his wife literally doesn't get off the sofa all day long.  The frustration and disappointment of which, when you're already tired and stressed, comes across as pissed off and judge-y.  [/quote]

Really?  
I would buy a bin for the toys so they could be easily picked up, leave the dishes in the sink to be put away after dinner, take the baby, give my husband a kiss, and tell him to go shower and take a little break.  Then I would put the baby in the ergo, grab a bottle, and go for a long walk. When I got home, I would hang out with my spouse who is probably missing some adult interaction.  
I would shift my work out to early mornings or after the baby was asleep for the night.
