Iām trying so hard not to have a meltdown right now. I love my husband and heās so supportive and understanding and an active father, but why the fuck does he do and say dumb shit that makes me feel undervalued and under appreciated. I told the mofo that u was tired and needed a nap and he told me to take the baby with me. I said no because she just woke up from a nap and I just want to sleep by myself. Ultimately started an argument but now Iām in bed, low key wanna cry but I really want to cuss him the fuck out. Heās usually so good about taking the baby if I want to shower alone and what not but sometimes he donāt know how to act right. Idk if he bumped his head or heās on drugs but heās lost his mind. I sacrifice all my sleep staying up with the baby so that he can get adequate rest before work. And this is the thanks I get. Iām so tired but I canāt even sleep cuz Iām so mad and I have unfinished business, he needs to be cussed out.

Men just canāt stay consistent is what Iām realizing. Itās like a love/hate or love/dislike for them, because they constantly have us on a freaking emotional rollercoaster. I totally get it if not more so because mine micromanages everything I do as a parent. Just cuz I do or parent differently than he does or handles something differently, that makes me a stupid an ignorant mother. I miss being a single parent sometimes.

Ugh! I agree with both of you and feel the exact same way! Itās so irritating that they canāt see what they make us go through sometimes and that is what makes it worse

Ugh, that sounds so frustrating! Tell him how some indipendent time is important for you. As much as we love our little ones, we need and deserve some alone time for our mental health.
Men are not empathetic and intuitive as women, sometimes you need to tell them exactly what you need from them.
Thereās a Bluey episode where the mom is overwhelmed and tells her husband āI need 20 minutes where no one comes near meā, Iāve been using that A LOT since Iāve watched it.
