Feeling frustrated

Personally I feel like when she gets a bit older like toddler stage they won’t react like that as much and also you’ll have more time to go out on your own as well. I know it can feel horrible to feel invisible. Also, try to focus your attention on the people that do still pay you attention like close friends, siblings, parents etc? And also focus on the moments you have where your husband does give you that one on one attention and affection, think of those times when you do feel down about him just going to your daughter.

Your husband is now getting his chance to bond with your baby. Remember fathers can’t bond the way we can with our babies before they are born. Also babies can feel everything the mother projects onto them. I am not perfect. But when I am sad, my son’s mood changes

What you are feeling is normal mama. It will pass

Thankyou ladies! Your advice really helps - I know I should appreciate the good times as bad days don’t last! And I know my husband is just trying to be a good dad but I just hope that this feeling doesn’t last

Call them out lol. Walk into family gathering and wave your arms like "hello?! I still exist!" They're not doing it on purpose but given they're not being considerate, I'd make a point about it. Your experience is very very common.

Before I had a baby I think I was guilty of this! I really wanted them to see that I loved their baby and was so excited for them so its likely not intentional but I do realise looking back how it might have made them feel and I try to be the opposite now! But even if it’s not intentional it’s really valid to feel sad about it, everything gets turned upside down when you become a mum and you experience things in a completely different way to before which can be difficult to adjust to. With your partner I’d let him know that you still wanna have a hug and kiss when he gets in as well as the baby, with wider family id make a jokey comment as Ella said or roll your eyes internally and wait for it to pass xx

Like another commenter said, tell people that you are there and it would be nice to get some recognition. I think it’s a friggin cheek that people say hello to your child but not you. Raise your voice and make your presence known. And your husband is just as bad, if not worse. He should be greeting you as his wife first, the queen of the household and the woman who carried and birthed his child. Of course he can build a bond with his daughter, all your asking is that he honours your presence first when he enters the room. I agree with you. I bet when he wants some nookie, he doesn’t hesitate in approaching you and tryna butter you up in some way so you give into his sexual urges, he doesn’t have a problem in acknowledging you then does he! 🙄😒 men, who needs them.
