jealous
I'm trying to work through the fact that I'm jealous of my husband's ability to do things i can't. Last night he went out drinking with friends, stayed in their hotel, and spent half of the day with them too. I took both kids home, put them to bed, got up with the 4mo at night, and took care of the kids.

I know how you feel. I'm home all day with our 4yo and 3w old. I barely have time to do my college work. I go to the store with them, the mall with them. I was trying to ebf but decided to give her 1 bottle of breastmilk a day. the sleeping before, the bottle feeding, and sleeping after is my break time.

I don’t think that’s fair. Just because he’s not the one breastfeeding doesn’t mean he should just get to take off like that. I think he should have went home with you and helped with the kids. I’d feel the same way.

But how often does he go out and leave you with the kids? Everyone deserves a break sometimes.

I get the impression that overall OPs husband is a good, involved parent and husband, and it doesn’t sound like she wasn’t okay with him having a “day off”, just that she wishes she could, too.
I think it’s so important to carve out some time for ourselves, especially when we have young children and babies at home. They can be all consuming, but it’s vital to take some time to regroup and fill your own cup, so to speak.

He doesn't go often which is why I was okay with him going. I haven't attempted bottles because I've never needed to.

I think it’s normal to feel this way. While we all deserve a break, it’s often much easier for the dads to take a break than the moms. I understand how you feel.

Your preaching to the choir ???

I could have wrote this myself! I have no advice. I've been feeling a lot of resentment lately over this.

I would try one if I were you. You need a break sometimes too
