Hubby’s involvement in baby duties

Dear mummies how involved are your husbands on day to day baby duties? My hubby reaches home at 7pm, we have dinner and he only spends a v short time with baby before I prepare her for bed time at 9pm. Full latch until she falls asleep. I have tried asking him to bottle feed but after that he can’t get baby to sleep successfully and I still need to wrap up. Also saying I need to understand as he is working and I am not. I am like yes you are working but work life was so much easier than SAHM with no income and 24/7 job with lesser sleep than him. He is outside watching TV while I latch baby to sleep and expect baby to sleep with no fussiness and when he’s tired just come into bedroom to sleep. I feel like I am all alone in parental duties sometimes.

i feel you mummy 😢 im home for my ML and my hubs is working alone as a grab rider. tho its a flexible work, he spends alot of time chasing orders. there are days he spend more than 24hrs outside. and ofc he will complain abt him being tired and such. so ill let him sleep once he's home. once he's awake, i make it a point for him and our baby to spend time tgt atleast 1hr. at first, we have alot of arguements bc the 'im more tired than you are' kinda thing. whenever he say 'you only at home mah. whats so tiring abt it? i have to cycle to and fro for us yknow' all i answered was 'you tired, you can off your app and rest. im home, taking care of baby, cook for you, do laundry, clean the house and room, entertain baby playtime and cryings. i tired from all that, can i off baby's mouth like grab app and I rest?? answer me' he kept quiet. i also left our baby to him when i have urgent matters, he keep calling, asking what to do. barely 3hrs,the calls and messages bombard. reached home, he's half ded. well, i thft tk myself, my qns to him quite powerful hor 😂

Haha maybe I need to let me husband experience the same. They like to say they working we at home but I def sleep less than him and being at home is so much tougher than Normal work life. Like you said apart from feeding need to entertain when baby is awake etc. They need me time we need time away from baby sometimes also
