Let me begin by saying I absolutely love my husband and I’m not saying he is a bad husband/father. We’ve been together 8 years and our son is 14 months. I guess I’m just disappointed that I thought my husband would be so much more hands on and he simply just isn’t. Granted he does work full time during the week, I try to be more understanding. HOWEVER, I still work 2 12 hour shifts on the weekends, I’m going to college (online), and I’m home with our son M-F and do majority of everything for him. My husband spends a lot of time on his phone, gets to go to the gym/hang out with friends, play his video game etc. Here lately I have just been feeling so much more resentment because our son sleeps in the bed with us (I can’t for the life of me get him to sleep in his crib) and he has constantly been waking up at night, refusing to sleep, wants to play with my ears, kicks me in the stomach, slaps me in his sleep, etc. and I’ve been running off of very limited sleep. My husband knows how tired I am and never offers to take him for a little while or when I wake him up and ask him he will hold him for maybe an hour or two then gives him back to me because he says he has to work in the morning. I understand he has to work but I don’t understand how I’m expected to be able to function even if I’m not working with very little sleep. Sometimes I watch him get to sleep peacefully and I just feel so much anger and resentment that he gets peaceful sleep every night. Sorry for the long post, I guess I’m just trying to vent and hope that someone understands. I’ve tried to tell him how I feel but it never really helps any. He says all I have to do is ask but I don’t feel like I should have to ask and sometimes even when I do ask he complains or only does something for an hour or two before handing our son back to me. I’m just so tired, overstimulated, frustrated etc. but I’m doing the best I can.
