I understand what you mean :( and it's hard. Mums are the primary caregiver cos we've been there and very involved from the beginning so perhaps that's why partners feel it's okay to step away from time to time and live life pre-kids. I'm glad you're talking to him and sharing with him how you feel because communication is key to making it work for both mum and dad. If you find that he is still not doing what you'd hope, perhaps some mummy friends or relatives could help step in to care for the kids while you head out for some me-time? Playdates also work for me sometimes too, just being able to engage with another adult while having an extra pair of eyes on the kids. 💕

Being a sahm for 2 gg 3yrs I know exactly what you mean. Men don't know if we don't voice out. It takes two to make a baby and two to raise one too. Communicate and work out a plan so you can have your me time too and some sanity back. Don't be afraid to ask for help. If he doesn't help, tell him you're gg to ask your family or friends so you can get some sanity back in your life. You might be surprised that he doesn't know how you feel - men are just like that in general.
