Please try and speak to him about changing his diet and getting some bloods done, my partner was like this but he works nights so has to sleep in the day which messes up his sleep for when he's off for 4 days, but when he does get out of bed around 12pm he lounges on the sofa the rest day, I'd had enough like I get your tired etc but this ain't fair, but he was living off coca cola and quick bites to eat so would be a pack of crisps or chocolate bar or pot noodles whilst he's at work as it's quick and easy, he's allowed me to start making him lunch and start drinking more water and he's feeling much better eating proper food and cutting down on the cola, but he did have bloods done which showed he was slightly anaemic which massively effects energy

I've tried talking to him and saying he needs to go to the doctors, it's been on going now for a while I'm just at the stage I'm done with it all it's making me really down I don't have a life this is not what I want for myself I like going out and enjoying myself if I confront him he calls me controlling. This is just a small problem out of many others I'm going through with him

Then you need to do what's best for you. Tell him the things that need to change and if nothing happens then you just crack on with your life, you only get one and no one knows how short it will be so live it the best you can and that involves you being happy

My fiancé does this but is an overnight nurse in Torrance so he’s working 12 hr shifts most nights and it was a little frustrating but I brought it up to him and now he makes more of his days off with us as a family and gives me time by myself so I just needed to address it with him for us to work as a team and I let him sleep because he works such long hours and is the breadwinner rn but he also makes more of an effort I know it’s hard working on a schedule for what his day offs being helps I spoke with a marriage therapist here and she recommended it!

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

Really bothered by this

A friend posted this and it really bothers me because that is exactly how she parents her kid, and it's rather unfortunate because when our kids hang out together, her kid has a meltdown at least 5x within an hour. We have know them for years and it's only gotten worse. My kids will concede to hers, because they don't want to see their friend crying, but it sucks because they give up so much of their toys and enjoyment to keep the peace. We aren't hanging out as much anymore but it's rather sad to think she doesn't intervene more in her child tantrums and just let's it slide

Shift worker daddies - advice please?

My husband works shifts (6am-6pm days or 6pm-6am nights) so when he’s on shift we either get about an hour or 2 before he goes to work or an hour or 2 when we gets home with him.

I don’t think people who aren’t married/have babies with shift workers fully understand the impact of feeling like a solo parent sometimes.

Does anyone have any advice? I do have parents who can help but I struggle to leave my baby with others as I always feel like they don’t understand the need for tracking wake windows or feeds and our baby will not sleep unless we black out a room or go for a car drive . Everyone seems to think ‘if he’s tired he’ll drop off’ - no he’ll just get overtired and have to then pay for it during his night sleep. So I feel like it’s just easier for me to do it all myself.

When my husbands off work he is great but I do take the mental load of telling him what to do or even reminding him of wake windows etc because he’s not here and forgets routines. He’s also being tested for ADHD currently so there’s that on top of shift work.

Just looking for advice on how to stay sane/keep routines or share loads with shifts workers?

Thank you ❤️

Feeding

My son is coming up to five months and I just started giving him oatmeal and rice cereal. When can you start trying veggies or fruits? I only give him the oatmeal or rice cereal once a day right now which is what the paediatrician had said to do. I’m just curious to when anybody tried anything else with their kids cause my son eats a lot of formula and he’s VERY curious when I eat.
