Anyone else getting annoyed at their partner when complaining about being tired?
To be clear, my husband has been helping me with stuff around the house. But man does it annoy me when he’s out here getting 6-8 hrs a sleep every night, while I am getting around 3-5 hrs total of small naps between naps nursing sessions and then has the nerve to complain about how tired he is!
He’s currently on parental leave so we’re both just taking care if baby 24/7. I am trying to heal from my c section and my nipples are on fire from breastfeeding.It just doesn’t seem fair!

Parenting is hard for everyone involved. He's probably extremely tired just the same. This is not the time for him vs. her. Have a productive conversation about what can be done to alleviate the load from one another. C-sections are hard, having a nb is hard, being a new mom / dad is hard, breastfeeding is hard. People choose to do it out of self-sacrifice. There's no easy way through this.
Just ignore it, stressing about the small stuff isn’t healthy for you to take care of the baby. This shall pass 🙏🏾

I understand how you can feel that way. But it isn’t a competition of who does what so one can be more tired than the other. Going through things mentally can also make you tired no matter how much you sleep. This is why they say a baby is such a test on a relationship. Both parents should be allowed to have complaints and say they’re tired especially sense you do get help from him. It just takes a little understanding . Have you expressed that you’re tired and why you’re tired it might make you feel better if y’all communicate the feelings fully without being annoyed and practicing understanding.
