Am I being OTT/Naggy

Please tell me honestly if I’m right to be annoyed or not. Our LO had his 16 week jabs and I checked in with my husband around 11am he asked how it went etc. He then has a break between 3:30-5pm but didn’t bother calling to see how little one was doing and whether he was ok. When I said I would’ve expected him to call to see how LO was, he said he was busy and that he didn’t want to call to not wake him up if he was sleeping. I said he could’ve texted but then he said I was just having a go at him for no reason ( bearing in mind I was saying all of this in a cool and calm manner) Am I expecting too much?

Men are completely different to us, they literally function differently, learning that made my life easier. Also I’ve noticed when my husband is at work he tends to disconnect from everything else but he doesn’t mean bad, they can’t just think about 10 things at the same time just like us women. I’m sure your husband does care about baby and it’s good that you let him know how you felt for next time :)

I personally wouldn’t have batted an eyelid to my partner not asking I know he’ll probably ask after work or I’d just tell him about it later, you’d already spoken about it at 11 so he probably didn’t think he needed to ask again and if he was bad you’d probably tell him! Don’t think it’s too much of a big deal!

Personally… as he already asked once I wouldn’t have expected for him to ask again, unless I text him saying they weren’t doing well. But as Silvia said, they’re just completely different.

I've learnt to not expect men to ask - but he asked once so I'd be okay with that. Also he might have thought that if your little one wasn't okay that you might have told me. I was definitely annoyed the first couple of times though so I do get your frustration!

Thank you ladies for your perspectives! Sometimes it’s just useful to air it out and see it from another point of view! I think maybe I did expect abit much - also due on so could be the hormones 🫠
