I had my daughter 5 days ago. We were released 3 days ago from the hospital. My husband has already returned to work which means he's gone from 5:30 am until 7 pm and easily sleeps through the night. Well, today he came in super angry because he has no clean clothes. We have no washer/dryer in our home, its downstairs. I respond with the fact that I have none either and I'm sorry and he looks at me and says "well why don't ya get off of your ass and do something about it?" We have no baby monitor, so I can't take her downstairs with me and I won't leave her in the house alone... On top of that, I'm friggin exhausted from sleeping 15-20 minutes at a time and getting up again... I don't know how to even out the exhaustion with everything else I have to do and taking care of her. I already fall asleep while nursing her and such... Any ideas? I want to do things and I wish I had the energy, I just can't find anymore :/

So are you all day long! Our job doesn't stop smh especially with a baby that young. He really sound crazy, plus that's his job to work and provide. Being a mom is a full-time job as well. And he should grow up and understand that smh.

@chantebrandon, he uses the excuse "I'm working 7 days a week" and he is to make up for the time missed while we were having her, but he doesn't realize the way I'm sleeping is so much harder on the body

he says there's no point in him getting up with her at night because I breastfeed and of course she wants to be but I told him that it would be nice just to have someone to talk to me and keep me awake while I was feeding her. when he said that I didn't even say anything back I just started crying I don't know what to do. I want to do something and I'm sick and tired of sleeping but I don't know how to even it out :-(

wow. i am so sorry momma. i agree with the others. explain that you need help too. i was in the same situation as you right after i had my daughter. i got pissed at him and said he can suck it up and spend time bonding with his daughter or not be in her life at all.

He needs to be a little more understanding! You JUST had a baby for Christ sake! He cannot expect you to get EVERYTHING done with NO help oh girl you are better than me I would've snap him in half completely! It's not fair if he wants you to get things done he needs to help you! At Least wake up with her once during the night jeez that kinda pissed me off!

tell him he needs to help out a bit more and to not be so harsh on you. I'm sorry but that's terrible that he would say that to you. I would of probably smacked my husband to be honest.
