[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My husband is way better at pretend play than me. He can have a running commentary on with my 3.5 yo for days, whereas I get tired of it after about 10-15 minutes. [/quote]

Btw, it's lame that your husband is being like this. I have an 8 month old as well and we've mostly divided the work (one takes the preschooler, one takes the baby) since the baby was born. It's completely unfair that you always have both (especially while on maternity leave and probably not getting much sleep!). [/quote]

16:44 here -- this is exactly w hat we anticipate doing with our two.  I was going to say that I wondered if it was the SAHM dynamic or not, but then I remembered that OP is going back to work soon.  Hang in there, OP, and maybe it will change once you do start working and you're both forced to more equally share responsibility.  Is your husband planning to take any additional time off with the baby when you're not around?  If not, maybe you can try leaving him alone with the baby for an afternoon at a time so you can run errands, get ready for work (e.g. go buy some clothes, get your nails done, go out and buy pumping supplies, etc.).  I'm just wondering if maybe he's intimidated because you're around all the time.[/quote]
