Feel like I’m going insane
Show your support
This is not your fault — baby proofing your house is a joint responsibility and if he was under your partner’s watch it was his responsibility to ensure he didn’t put a battery in his mouth. It’s also NOT normal for him to not help in any way with your newborn. I breastfed (still do at 9 months) and my husband helps with anything and everything else around that. He couldn’t and still can’t always soothe her, but he’d at least try to, to help me. He should be wanting to bond with his daughter and interact with her in anyway he can. It sounds like you have a third child in the house…❤️
He is also a parent and does not understand how hard it is as he doesn't look after them both full time. Try and talk to him about how u need more support. The more hands on he gets he will start to understand. Hopefully this helps. My kids are 18 months apart this stage is hard x
@Kayleigh yes I feel like I have a third child, his not held her at all when I ask it’s always “I’m just having a shower’ I’m just about to do this” don’t get it
@Sharon thank you! I feel like I just cry all the time I’m trying to get into a routine but it’s so hard x
Wow that’s bs about “nothing he can do to soothe baby”. There are days on the weekends and before my spouse went back to work that they basically held the baby aaaall day long in between feeds. In fact, they want to do that on the weekends because they like spending time with their baby, parenting.
@Marina he told me I’m making things worse holding her I should just leave her to cry it out …. I’d never do that she’s 4 weeks old!
Wow. He doesn't sound reliable in any ways and he also is non educated about baby's needs.
My partner does stuff like this. Drives me insane
Oh do I add is it normal for my partner to not help or even touch the newborn because I’m breast feeding so in his words there’s nothing he can do to sooth baby, I’m struggling so hard right now
