So I have a question??
Does your bd or so help you in the middle of the night? And do they go to work in the morning? Because me and my bd have been having this argument because he feels like it's my job and he shouldn't have too because he goes to work. Opinions?
Yeah he's never gotten up in the middle of the night with our son. He has the same mentality. It's fine with me since it's fair. Yeah it sucks but it is what it is. The newborn stage was very tough on me.
My husband doesn't help at all.. ok let me not. He does the bare minimum. He has never gotten up with our daughter when she wakes up. He has never bathed her, dressed her.. shit he don't know what size clothes she wear... now don't get me wrong he's a great dad/provider but he feels that stuff should be left to me because he works & it's not fair & it aggravates the hell out of me. I spoke about it with my mom & older women & they said it's pretty common for men to be like that because they don't have that motherly instinct to adapt as fast as we can.. I think it's bull but hey. My daughter sleeps through the night now so we don't have that issue anymore but I completely understand ya beef
Yes mine does he works 430pm-3am he changes her when he gets home and if she wakes up he puts her back to bed. and if she's sick he'll put some Vicks on her chest and the bottom of her feet. and if he's home when she goes to bed he'll help put her to bed he'll get her milk ready or dress her and bring her into her room kiss/hug her good night and say he loves her
I understand that he has to work ya know but I still think he should be able to get up at least once if I need it. And most the time I do because I'm so tired. Even if he just feeds him and I do the rest. His first response is always a complaint. And he always says if single moms can do it all the time why can't you.😑what.
Yes mines helps a lot and he goes to work at 5am and comes back around 6 or 7pm. And he still gets up in the middle of the night to feed her or change her diaper.
My husband helps on weekends but he works & I don't so I personally can't justify making him stay up with the baby when he has to wake up early to go to work for the day. My son is 8m & I still nap when he naps if I'm tired 🙃
And honestly that excuse is such a cop out. You weren't the only one to make that baby, it's not just your job. Just because he works doesn't mean anything. I hate that.
Most nights my SO won't help unless he knows I'm tired as hell. I don't care if he helps cause he works 60 hours a week and he needs his rest. I rather do everything anyways cause I don't like the way he does things lol
My SO has always helped. Didn't matter if he had to work or not. I use to tell him it was pointless to wake up since I breastfeed but he insisted. Said he didn't feel right not helping. He'll change his diaper or put him back to sleep.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
@sheaxx, yes it's complete bull. I mean its one thing if your a mom that wants to do it all yourself but to say it's MY job. We're equal in responsibility, yes I may be able to calm him more but his needs can be met by both is us. I'll be going back to work soon nd I wonder what'll happen then.
