Is this just me?

My health visitor has suggested I've got PPD now at 16 weeks PP. I don't know if this is related or if it's normal/just me but holy shit the smallest things are irritating the crap out of me! It's mainly stuff my partner is saying. Now don't get me wrong he's great, and I know he's saying it all in jest but oh my God it's cutting like a knife at the moment! For example, I'm trying to make a bit more time for myself now my LO is 16 weeks so I've started trying to get back into a hobby of mine. My partner is constantly saying to our son 'oh your mum doesn't care about you anymore, she's got other priorities!' Or 'your mum can't pick you up at the moment because she's too busy doing things for herself' etc. Then this morning I had things I needed to do to get ready for us to go out for the day i.e making bottles up, packing changing bag etc. I was going to do this while my partner was getting himself ready. Cue the LO getting distressed because I've put him down to then be met with 'awe your mum doesn't love you enough to pick you back up even for a minute'. It's always little comments like that, that as I say, are made in jest, but are really starting to make me feel like I'm being a bad mum :/

No that’s shitty things to say god forbid your a person other than mum and he had to parent

I would respond with "awe your dad feels the need to belittle your mum"

Um that’s not PPD he’s just a fucking ass. I hate people who use their kids to talk to their spouse like that. Such a pussy move. Be an adult and use your words. Also, you are allowed to have time to yourself! My husband says to me all the time that I’m not just a mom I’m a PERSON. Also those are not comments made in jest me and my husband are serial jokers and play around with each other all the time but he would never even dream to say those things to me. He needs serious counseling if he is saying those things to you and feels that way TBH

Absolutely HATE when people speak to me ‘through the baby’ and i absolutely wouldn’t stand for that from your partner, they should know better - you’re supposed to be a team.

ur not being a bad mom at all. my partner just picks the baby up and helps when he sees im overwhelmed. he’s making degrading remarks towards you but telling it to the baby to lessen the burn. ur not crazy and im sorry anyone has made you feel like you are
