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..

Talk to him and simply state how you hope he can help. Come up with a chores list and assign some to him. Sometimes, I think it is a matter of the other party not knowing how exactly to help. To some, keeping you company while staying out of your way is a way of showing support. Communicate with him and tell him how you feel. Don't be surprised if he thinks that he has been helping and supporting you all these while.
