Wife Mood Swing

Fellow daddies, do your wife experience mood swings and pick on you over nitty gritty things such as how we care for babies and over household chores? Some days wife is in good mood, some days moody show me attitude or bad mood. Our baby daughter is 4 Months+ old, could it be mood swing resulting from take care of Baby day & night, not having enough sleep and stress from take care of Baby? Often I am said not helping enough and that she is doing all the stuff, I do help out 2 to 3 of the tasks but not all, sometimes after doing the chores if it's not up to her expectation also getting nagged. Whatever I do, it seems she is just not satisfied nor up to her expectation, then she would do that task herself and nag me again for not contributing enough. Seriously I don't know what to do but feel neglected as a hubby sometimes. Am I asking too much? Or I am just not doing enough as a hubby?

Yes. And i think it is ok as long as she feels better because I understand she is feeling very uncomfortable with baby inside. She also have very bad morning and night sickness so this is the least I can do to commit. After she gave birth to our first, she is even stressed up as no we are taking care of our baby ourselves. So I let her heal fully first. She'll be in good mood when she feels better. So no rush. But she still tries her best to help around so it's give and take. It's the Caring part that plays an important role. Who knows it is us one day who can't walk or feed ourselves nxt time, our wife will be the one who'll help us and stay by our side. So now we just need to be patient.
