My boyfriend has been an active father so far for the past 5 days since my daughter has been born. For some reason, I almost feel like we’re so distant now. We coparent fine, but maybe it’s because no affection is shown? Just feel kind of lonely 😞

Same. Im 4 months in and feeling lonely as ever. Its like he works hard and comes home and helps with the kids and we literally focus no time to our selves. I have been feeling like we are on different teams lately . Hurts.

Its so hard in the beginning! Everyone is still kind of in shock and awe that baby is actually here. Mom and dad are tired, worried about baby, worried about each other etc. Communication is key. Let him know you need some adult time and give each other plenty of breaks.

@majorreign, it’s so hard! because it’s not like the guys aren’t helping but we should be growing and raising families together not like ignoring each other. if that’s the case there isn’t a point of a relationship

@kambam, i’ve let him know and it just goes back to the way it was. he’s been just playing his video games since he’s been off work it’s frustrating

Oh, im sorry 🙁 thats how my sons dad was. We split immediately...
Are there any women you can lean on? Mom, sister, other family who are moms?

I’d give it sometime having a baby changes everything and your baby is so young you guys probably haven’t even settled into being parents yet let alone figuring it out.

@countrylove21, i think the breast feeding at night kills us because he just sleeps and i have to wake up all the time. then he complains about her diapers?? like bitch you have no idea and she’s a BABY

Totally understand I'm pregnant with my third baby I breastfed both my boys and yeah night time when they get to sleep and u dont yep I've gotten very jealous of my guy but in the end I've just excepted guys are big babies in the sense that they couldn't handle all that we can so I've just come to the conclusion I'm alone with the a lot even when he's home sometimes...idk it sucks sometime s but than there's a lot of good family days to...and we went through very distant times.....my guy kinda shut down after my first son was born..he was so overwhelmed by the pure responsibility of having a life..
