My SO doesn't do shit for our DD. His excuse is that he works. Whenever he does interact with her he just points out things that make me feel like a terrible mother. I.e. I don't have a way to feed you, I know you hungry... Mommy is right there! (Mind you I feed her plenty, most of the time I've just finished nursing minutes before his interaction. Shes accustomed to the cradle position being used for nursing, and that's the main way he holds her) Sometimes when I want to take a shower or am in the bathroom taking a boop, he stands DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE BATHROOM DOOR WITH THE BABY AND SINGS TO HER ASKING FOR ME!? I can't have time to myself or feel terrible about it when I do get that chance. Sometimes I feel like he's going to be like my father and be nothing more than a financial support. I literally have to ask him to do shit for our daughter otherwise he'll just sit there and let her cry or wait for me to deal with her issue.
@morganmommy79 OMG YES that dad of the year act in front of other people! I hate that shit!
Same here. He always asks why she doesn't like him too. When he plays on his phone while holding her she obviously gets bored. He won't do much at all with her unless other ppl are around and he needs "credit" for being such a good daddy. He always does his own thing and tells me he works so I basically do the rest. Even when I worked he was like this. Done trying.
@damiensmommy1117 he knows how to handle her, it just seems like he'd rather not have to deal with her.
Oh man My SO is the same but possibly a bit worse. I can write out my whole situation but i rather not write such a long thing in the comment section. Just letting you know I totally understand how you’re feeling because I feel the same.
Idk if it's the same for your SO, but mine is kind of the same way, he just doesn't know how to deal with a baby though so if I'm busy I have to tell him, try rocking the baby, try bouncing, try standing up, try walking around. He's never really been around babies a lot like I have, is your SO the same? If not, then I am truly sorry you have to deal with that shit mama!
@amadamforbes, yeah esp when the other people tell you how good of a daddy he is or how great of a husband he is and I'm getting nauseated on the inside knowing the truth.
