Struggling

I don’t really know the point of this post and I feel guilty for even writing this as I don’t feel like I should complain. But I’m so tired and feel so rubbish about myself. Before having my daughter, I was the girl that would always get my nails/lashes/tan done, would always make an effort with my hair and makeup. Since having my LG I’ve completely let myself go. She comes before everything I don’t mind that at all, I wouldn’t change being her mum for the world. I’m just struggling with the fact my partners life just carries on, like before having a child. He goes out when he wants, does whatever he wants and doesn’t appreciate that my whole world has completely changed. He doesn’t get why I feel so rubbish about myself and low all the time. I do ALL of the housework, and feel like I’m a solo parent half the time. I feel bad for asking for any help and feel guilty for wanting 5 mins to myself. I love my baby girl, I’ve never spent a moment away from her and she is literally my entire world but I wish sometimes my partner would just appreciate how much my life has changed and offer more support. He just always tells me that I’m “weak” for crying, and I have nothing to feel upset about and there’s no point feeling the way I do 💔 he makes me feel so shit but whenever I try and explain this to him, he just gets in a mood and blames it on me and how I’m always miserable, it brings him down.

Girl I feel that! Nothing does change for men but for woman our whole being is turned upside down. It gets better, you learn to do better when he isn't there. I used to envy my husband for going out all the time and me staying home, now I see the only person he hurt was our little. He missed a lot of him growing up and that's on him not me.

Yeah true, he is the one missing out. I know I can do it all on my own and that’s not what bothers me. He just adds to the load of everything, leaves the house in a state and then just goes out and leaves it all down to be to clean so he can have his “own time” but then never appreciates that I don’t ever get that and I’m just expected to do everything as he “goes to work all day”
