Hmmm, I don't think you are being unreasonable at all. When DS was born, DH had this crazy job where he would work from 8am to 8pm/9pm at night and often over weekends. So I was pretty much a single mum during the week. Because he was just doing his job it didn't bother me at all and I actually felt sorry for him because he was worried he was missing out on seeing DS growing up. Now he is working from home and my expectations have changed. I do demand more of him because he is around - and, fortunately, he does help out heaps more.

I would have an issue with him doing what your DH is doing. Having said that, often our partners are just oblivious to the fact that they aren't pulling their weight or that we are taking strain. Perhaps he has no idea that what he is doing is bothering you? How about compromising? Ask him to go for a walk first and then read the paper when DS is awake and he can help out a bit. Otherwise ask him to get up a bit earlier and start his routine at 5:30? When I was working, I would read the paper on my way to work and during my morning / lunch break - perhaps he can do that?

It is hard and I hope you work something out. What I have realised is that nipping this sort of thing in the bud is so important. Otherwise your frustrations bubble over and mummy-melt-downs are never a good thing x
