I ask my husband to do something and he immediately requests help on it, looking for how to explain this is not cool

Every so often I will ask my husband to complete a simple task - put the baby down for a nap - or something like that. A one person task that I often do by myself but I need a break so I ask him to do it. He agrees and then immediately asks for my assistance on part of the task “Yes I’ll put the baby down, can you change her diaper.” Dude, that’s like half of the task. And why can’t you do it. You’re literally in the room. And he’ll get offended and say, you could’ve just said no. And now I’m annoyed because why the fuck is he trying to pass the responsibility back onto me and why does he not see how annoying it is. He does it all the time and doesn’t understand why it bugs the crap out of me. Any advice on how to explain it?

Every morning: I am so tired, I can’t wait to go to sleep. Every night when my kids are asleep and I finally finish my chores: There’s no way I’m wasting this precious peace by sleeping through it.

I woke up with a migrane, and husband did all the things

I let him sleep in yesterday, so when I woke up with a migrane, he got the babies changed, fed, house immaculate, put them down for a nap and had hot coffee waiting for me when I got up. Then he said :" Go back to bed! I don't need you. There's nothing for you to do!" I did not argue. 😊

No and when is it understoodish

Have a year and 3 month old and am getting very frustrated with him giving a side glance and a smirk when we say no. Continues on with the bad behavior. Is it only when they understand language will they understand no? We’ve tried stern voice and we will not raise our voice. Any tips or is it just wait a bit longer and that’s it?

What can I do to encourage a baby's development?

I have a 4 month old boy and I know of the importance of tummy time and reading to them , but I have developmental co-ordination disorder and dyslexia which being male might up his chances of having inherited it so I want to do everything I can to help him with his skills to give him the best start I can if he's like me, so what else is there I can do with him?

He has the greatest smile. Didnt expect to be a dad for a long time but hes the most amazing thing to happen in my life.

Transitioning to Toddler Bed

Any tips for helping a more curious toddler (boy) transition to a toddler bed? Our 21 month has figured out his way out of his crib even after two modifications and putting the mattress on the floor within the crib frame. Our first is a rule-loving, mild mannered girl so the exploring, go-go-go boy has us scratching our heads on how to keep him safe and well slept. (To add to the crazy, our newest is 10 days old)
