so fucked off been up all night now with little man and my OH gets up and says hes tired so going to sleep and im just there, like wtf mate im ill i have literally no energy as i do all the night feeds and looks after him through day (im not moaning i love looking after my little boy) and with that i do all cleaning, cooking, washing and other things that need to be done and i have no energy what so ever i am in absolute agony with my stomach, he doesnt do any night feeds anymore or barely does them through the day and if i tell him he makes out he does everything and goes in a grump, just told him i need to stay up as little man isnt settled and he goes ok and turns over goes to sleep😠😠 its just nice to have some help sometimes, i havent slept properly in days and my OH tells me hes tired, i cant eat because i still dont have an appetite and everythings making me feel sick and i have constant stomach pains, i have zero energy what so ever, whatever happened to taking it easy and trying to recover?
@danielleallen110 that's great to hear Hun hopefully it stays that way sometimes men just need a little push because all of a sudden our lives ain't all about them it's all about this amazing tiny little human and they can get a bit jealous without even realising it themselves but it's just a transitional stage Hun it'll get better, just stay strong xx
oh since ive told him hes had little man and told me to go for a hot bubbly bath and relax as im not feeling too good and hes going to cook me food and have little man tonight so i can sleep xx @gabilicious
hes a child honestly he was brilliant for the first week then it just wore off, i will hun thamkyou xx @gabilicious
Tell him straight Hun and stick to it he clearly got his priorities wrong so selfish of him and leave him to do his own cooking and washing or what If you told him you're going shop and that's it he'll have no choice but to look after his son cx @danielleallen110
i did this morning i told him he was taking over so i could go for a bath and have an hour and he turned around with 'your not fucking tired you always sleep you never do anything for your son' xx @gabilicious
Like @sara-lou said it worked now he does offer to take over occasionally or even tidied up so I wouldn't have to, don't give up stick to your ground xx @danielleallen110
I have done what @gabilicious mentioned. Leave him no choice. I'd just say 'I'm going off for a long bath' or pop to the shops by myself. When he realises your not taking his shit & he gets used to helping/ spending time with his child he may even start to offer to take over now & then! My husband still has selfish tendencies this time but he also has told me to go have a rest or bath occasionally. Nagging sometimes works lol @danielleallen110
It's his son too he's gonna have to help you and simply get on with it the way you do, it takes two to make a baby xx @danielleallen110
i just woke him up and told him that when he gets up he can take finlay with him so i can get some rest , im going to have to have a chat with him i think , i feel like calling him every name under the sun tbh but if i do itll start an argumenr so im trying my best to stay quiet lol , i wish men could go through what we havexx @gabilicious
I don't know how you got the patience I would of called him every name under the sun by now, stay strong Hun men will never understand everything is woman go through, have you tried sitting him down over a cup of tea and talking it out, or maybe one of the day's leave him no choice but to look after his son too xx
No problem yeah maybe not the best but hanging there xx @danielleallen110
