[quote=Anonymous]I will never forget visiting one of my friend's who had a small infant, maybe 5 weeks old.  She was seething with anger at her DH.  Like livid.  Spent a lot of time tell me she was looking up divorce attorneys because he was so terrible.

That never happened, and when I mentioned it to her a few years later, she did NOT REMEMBER saying any of that.  So yeah post partum can be a rocky time.  You may be feeling really rage-y.  That's normal!

But, it's never a bad idea to keep working to get on the same page as your DH.  In a CALM time, sit down and say you've been feeling really agitated about the state of the kitchen in the morning.  Work together to get a plan to help set it up well.  Then move on to meal planning.  Do it together for the week, then send him to the store. Keep it simple, rely on frozen stuff if you need too.

It's also ok to just tell him this is not acceptable and he needs to SEE MORE.  I always tell my Dh that he has a master's degree and I am SURE he can figure it out.  Cooking is not rocket science!  Neither is cleaning.[/quote]
