Please don't compare yourself to other moms. Everyone has their own style, and there's no right or wrong. I suspect that for evolutionary reasons, moms are inclined to superfocus on their babies in those first months. And that's perfectly ok. You love and delight in her, and that's wonderful.
So other mothers and housework aside, I can understand wanting to build a better relationship with your husband. Is it possible to get couples counseling? Preferably with someone who understands the issues of new motherhood. We have a Parenting Center in our city that was really a lot of help after my son's birth. Do you have one in your area?
