We are changing his babygrow every day as pajamas but the sleep sack is more like a duvet cover and gets washed once every week or two or sooner if heโ€™s dribbled a lot or been sick

We wash the sack every 5 days or so. I don't count, but more or less.

We wash them all once a week but rotate them depending on temperature. This week weโ€™ve used the 1.5, 2.5 and 3.5 tog sleep sacks because temperature has ranged from 23-17 in my bedroom and my baby tends to feel the temperature (runs hot when itโ€™s warm and gets real cold when the temperature drops).
When there is a steady temperature we have a couple sleep sacks in each tog so tend to still rotate them and then wash once a week unless there is a reason to wash them sooner - spit up, leakage etc

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realizedโ€ฆ

This is such a ramble but I donโ€™t know where else to put it all.

Iโ€™m four months in and I donโ€™t really have hobbies right now. I donโ€™t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didnโ€™t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think itโ€™s altering how I view people around me and itโ€™s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet thereโ€™s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know heโ€™s running off to start up the bot. Even though Iโ€™m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. Heโ€™s always brought a laptop on trips and itโ€™s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldnโ€™t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasnโ€™t reason to. Itโ€™s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasnโ€™t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was โ€œwhy the hell would you do this on a family trip?โ€

I donโ€™t know what it is. Maybe itโ€™s the less complete sleep from babyโ€™s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe Iโ€™m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But Iโ€™m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks โ€œyou could be using that time differentlyโ€ but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And heโ€™s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I donโ€™t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also donโ€™t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. Itโ€™s like Iโ€™ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong ๐Ÿค”. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.
