He means mow the yard while baby is in the bouncy chair without the monitor and no supervison. And how and why would you purposely fall asleep while holding the baby do you not know how many babies died
I wouldn't be happy with him being drunk while baby sitting but I would mow the law while the baby is sleeping, I would just take the monitor outside and millions of parents including my husband have slepts with a new born on their vest on the couch, it sounds like he is trying and maybe you need to try to remember that this isent your baby and you set the rules, you have to give him a little bit of freedom to parent their children too, a baby is a bit adjustment and no one is the perfect parent, he is learning too
