I have a great husband, but I hate when he comes home & stays in the shower for 45min & farts around with something in the garage when I want to eat or take a break. Then when he does have baby... he can’t do anything else... like wash bottles...go get laundry. He can’t even pick up his damn dirty clothes from the middle of the floor!!! I really wanted to just toss a match on his damn mess. I seem to be able to get all of it done when I have her. I swear to god if I had a better income, I would just be a single parent. I’m just pissed off about it today!!!! & totally PMSssing.
Communication will help so much. Men are so oblivious to things. And the first baby is always a learning experience. Just ask him to wash the bottles or whatever needs done. But I have learned men suck at multitasking sometimes. 😂 it does get better though! My husband has 1. Learned from the first baby and 2. Enjoys helping so much more because he can have fun and play with our daughter vs a baby who doesn’t do much besides sleep. Also he used to be out in the shop and never check on me inside with our first. But I talked to him about how overwhelming I thought it would be with 2 and would need his help more and once baby was here and now he asks if I need help all the time. I usually say no because I don’t but he offers now vs me asking. He will ask if it’s ok if he does such and such in the shop. And if he is out there a while he makes sure to come in and check on me or see if I need a quick break. But this only came after discussing it with him. I let him know that sometimes I can’t even go to the bathroom because both kids are in constant need of something. And he has no clue how it is because he isn’t the one with a newborn constantly attached to his tit lol
I’m a single married mom it seems. My husband clocks out from his job and his priorities at home. He gets down time and I don’t. Communication does not work with him either. So when he leaves a mess I pile it on his side of the bed to deal with it. He can barely walk to the bed from all his clothes but I don’t care. I’m done picking up after him.
I hear you mama! Mine barely likes to take the kid for more than a few minutes when she's crying and I need to do things.. and when he does, he has often overstimulated her and made her overtired and fussy.. joy.. 🙄
Communication is key. Idk if it’s your only baby but men for some reason just don’t get it. Lots of communication and telling him how you feel and what you need done may help. Men don’t get hints so you can’t beat around the bush
