Is it bad of me to think this or no?
My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means Iโve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said Iโm so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said heโll do it later which means he wonโt do it and Iโll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise Iโll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and Iโve been away so youโve just been relaxing.
Donโt know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!
When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now heโs back, I want him to go away again๐
Is that bad?
Is this normal
Letโs say youโre at a softplay with your 2 year old, and some friends & their toddlers.
You buy your 2 year old a kids meal - chicken nuggets, beans, and chips. Theyโre very happy with it and have almost eaten it all.
Theyโre sat at the table, fork in hand, consistently eating, and have one chicken nugget left.
Your adult friend comes over from behind you, picks up the last chicken nugget, and eats it.
There was no indication that your child wasnโt going to eat it, and they didnโt ask. They just took it with no warning and ate it right in front of you and your toddler.
How you reacting?
Are these men ok?
I get so sad seeing all the posts on here daily about women dealing with partners who are treating them horribly. I know it seems over represented because those of us with great partners donโt need to write posts asking for help, but I really hope most of us donโt have these kinds of men in our lives!
I tell my husband about these posts I see sometimes and heโs even shocked by some of the things these guys say/do.
Nobodyโs perfect, and every relationship takes work. And becoming parents is a stress test unlike any other for sure, but seeing how many women get stuck in these relationships with men who arenโt interested in being better is so so sad๐
But is/was your partner helpful, loving, and supportive during your pregnancy/PP/etc? Was he a wonderful person but changed for the worst after becoming a parent? Has he put effort into becoming the partner you need him to be, even if he struggles?
