He sounds just like mine, we are very lucky to have such great OH's

no not atall. he's being selfish. just becasue you're a mum now doesnt mean you should stop being 'you'. you still need time to yourself. everybody does.

my dh doesnt even feed her v often or change nappies- hes self employed so is never really not working but it does make feel like if we could have another baby im not sure i could cope with the workload after a c section of 2 lo

he loves her v much and loves to chat to her and does every bath time with me but hes just an old fashioned sort of dad it seems - i think as she gets older he'll come into his own

My son is my life and i wouldn't have it any other way but am i really being that unreasonable?

absolutely not!
My sister takes LO for the afternoon on a friday so i can get my nails etc done, im still me not just "mum", and if im happy LO is happier too.

Babies are hard work hun
