For a lot of new moms<\/a>, there just don’t seem to be enough hours in the day. Between trying to get enough sleep when your baby is down, you’re consistently feeding them, changing their diaper, trying to figure out what will help with their gassy tummies<\/a>, and so much more. Especially when you’re going through the newborn stage and everything is new to you and your partner, it can feel so good to have someone who really steps up for both you and your baby. A stressed-out and tired mom took to Reddit to ask for some advice in regards to her husband who isn’t quite there yet.<\/p>

A frustrated mom explains that her husband does a lot, but most of it doesn’t involve caring for their newborn.<\/h2>
