Stay at home parent - Are your spouses supportive?

I stay at home taking care of our 3 month old son and then work part-time at night(6 - 10pm) after my husband gets home, so one of us is always with him. Taking care of our son, our apartment, and then going to work is exhausting. I am breastfeeding, so I am the one who gets up throughout the night to take care of our son, while my husband sleeps. He says he is "supportive" of me staying home, but his actions are different. He told me a few weeks ago that he "would rather stay home and 'play' with our son, than go to work". That statement pissed me off, as if I just sit around on my butt all day, "playing". I guess the apartment magically gets clean, dinner is magically made, and our son is taken care of. When my husband watches our son at night, he as asleep starting at 8 pm(til midnight), so he only has our son awake for 2 hours. He thinks it's "easy" to take care of him, but it's a lot more than he knows.

Is there a way to get him to realize all I do? Or should I just learn to ignore it and do my own thing?
