Partner rant

Anyone else’s husband or BD constantly have a bad headache almost weekly and is so bad they can’t look after their child? I may sound petty but I’m currently under strong medication 24/7 and along a crap tone of health issues from after birth yet I have to get on with it and be a mum. But somehow when my husband has a headache.. it’s the end of the world and he can’t help look after his own son.. it’s been like this for the past 4 days and he was the same 2 weeks ago as well.. I’m not here about to baby a 6 week old AND a grown man. AITAH?

Wow, I’d be so angry if my partner did this, I’d phone the doctors and make him an appointment, tell him he’s got an appointment as it’s odd this keeps happening and if it’s that bad then he should see a GP 😂 us mothers don’t get a day off even if we’re poorly so why should he? I’d be fuming as well.

I agree with Shannon, I’d play the overly concerned card ‘wow that really doesn’t sound right babe, I think get to the doctors ASAP’ and see how quickly it cures itself 😂

See I think I’d be petty and “get a headache” before him today and tomorrow 😂 someone has to look after baby, so if he says he has a headache as well yet still leaves looking after baby to you, that’s an opportunity for a conversation without having to tell him you think he’s fibbing.

I would be annoyed 100%!! This is the time that means the most and you need the most support. Personally I’d be telling him straight that he’s bang out of order. That’s just how I am though 😂 I’ve had some issues with my husband not pulling his weight, mainly with our daughter and not our son but I was straight up with him and told him if I felt like a single parent who was in a relationship then I would just go and be a single parent because it would be less stress. At the end of the day, if I was ill or anything, I would still have to be a parent, I don’t get to just hand the kids off to someone so I made it clear it was the same for him. Obviously when you’re actually being a team, it’s normal to get one parent to cover the main if you’re ill but not when you’re clearly taking the piss out of them x

If he's getting regular headaches then 100% he should see a GP. I agree with the others ladies, it took two of you to make the baby and if it was you that had the headaches you wouldnt get a day off, so he needs to pull his weight. I had a TERRIBLE migraine two days ago, like it was HORRIFIC. But, I have no support system and two children so I had to just dose myself up, put some sunglasses on and get on with it 🤷🏻‍♀️
