[quote=Anonymous]I don’t think you are asking too much here, OP.

In retrospect, I wish I had insisted on DH doing more when our first was a baby.  If you take over everything, it can quickly get to the point that he doesn’t even know how to do it anymore.  You mentioned there being a change in the way your baby naps just in the last couple of weeks.  If your husband hasn’t been managing naps, he probably doesn’t know what to do now.   Over the next couple of years, there will be more little things like this, and gradually childcare and housekeeping will shift over more and more to being all your responsibility.  
Then, when you are ready to return to work full time, you will find that you won’t be able to without completely burning yourself out.

Stick to your guns now, OP.  He can cook dinner once or twice a week.  He can put the baby down sometimes and take care of him on a weekend afternoon while you go workout and relax.  Fight those fights now.  You will be glad that you did.
