[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are both working. He works his job meanwhile her work is taking care of the baby during those same hours. Everything outside those work hours should be divided equally.
Saying he doesn't have to do anything at night because "he is working" in the day is a terrible way to get started. That's exactly how women end up responsible for everything home and kid related while men just "go to work". And it gets worse when the mom goes back to work. Her list gets longer and his doesn't change. OP should stand firm.[/quote]
Why don’t you want her to get a nap or two during the day?[/quote]

Why doesn't husband nap during his lunch break? There are others things that need to be done when the baby finally falls asleep (pump, clean parts, eat, use the bathroom, shower, change, to laundry, clean up messes). They don't nap for so long and it's really to make yourself fall asleep when you know that the baby will start screaming in just a few minutes. It also depends on the babies and their sleep habits. I have almost never been able to "nap while they nap" with my crappy sleepers. Plus sometimes they can only sleep on you or in the stroller.[/quote]

I think ops husband is being a jerk but op can and should nap at least for 2 of the baby's naps. A lot of what you mentioned is part of the rigidity that posters are talking about. He needs to step up and she needs to let go[/quote]
