I wish my hubby can be more hands-on and supportive.. my hubby's idea of helping is by staying at home (not going out) with me.. all he does at home is to play iPad, surf youtube, online shopping.. while i do the feeding (via bottle), change diaper, bath, coaxing the baby to sleep 24/7.. I am so stressed out.. how can I talk to him about being more hands on? I need to have time out too..

Make him sit and talk to him. And tell him the exact things you have stated in your question above. Tell him what kind of help you want from him. Men take longer time t understand and take the responsibility of the new humans in the family because they are not made to do the real chores of the baby. You intentional let the baby on his laps. Let him change the diapers. Don't be available all the time. And do not be the first one to get up when the baby cries.
