Am I being silly? (2 weeks PP)

I’m two weeks PP, my hormones are absolutely everywhere but am I being silly over this… so I was on the phone to my boyfriend before and he mentioned that his friend has booked somewhere for them to go out next week to watch England play and I didn’t say anything I just kept quite however I’m feeling it’s not very fair on me.. I’ve sacrificed so much, I’m exhausted, I haven’t had any freedom in months, and somehow he’s still able to have parts of his old life while mine has completely changed. There’s nothing wrong with him going out but all throughout my pregnancy he still enjoyed himself with his friends where I don’t know when I’ll find the time because my priorities are now her? I’m up every night doing the feeds which is my fault because I only showed him once and he never did it and I’m terrified of him getting her bottles wrong if that makes sense? like i always take over but being two weeks PP it’s now starting to get to me and i understand he’s back at work but I haven’t slept properly since when he’s been ok. He’s an amazing dad and I’m not criticising him but I want him to do more. What do I do my emotions are absolutely everywhere :(

Have you taught him the ways you like to do the bottles/feeds? He maybe feels as though he hasn’t got his part to play in the daily care of a baby if always take over. Xx

The best thing you can do is communicate with him how your feeling. Be honest and open.
I remember feeling exactly the same way with my first. I felt like my whole life had been changed and his hadn't. I started feeling such resentment towards him but as soon as we had an honest conversation on how I felt things got better!
It's so tough post partum so be kind in yourself ❤️
Unfortunately men will never understand the physical and mental struggles we experience PP but explaining to them exactly how you feel and what you need from them will hopefully help.
If you need anyone to talk/rant to please reach out to me lovely, I struggled majorly after having my first son but you aren't alone x

Not attending my friends divorce party, as a married woman.

I love my friend .. but I also love my marriage and don’t want to spend a night screaming how men are trash and how we don’t need them.

Also my friend is very fiery and problematic I believe was the cause of the break up.

I’m also Christian and don’t want any anti marriage energy around me.

Thoughts? Am I bad for not going. I’m always there as a shoulder to cry on but I do not wish to celebrate the divorce.

Hey

Hey everyone! My name is Hajir. I just found out at home I’m pregnant with my first. I don’t work so I don’t see many people. I have however been job searching for the last few months. I’m nervous about this baby! I have yet to see any doctors but have appointments booked. I expect the due date to be end of Feb (I’m hoping it would fall on leap year haha). Looking to meet supportive friends.

The most embarrassing accent/language mistake you made?

While I was in Belfast I nipped into TK maxx (not somewhere I ever shop) to get an emergency rain jacket, the girl on the till asked me if I had a charging cord which I thought was really strange surely she would bring her charger to work, I said no I don’t sorry, she said oh would you like to get one then,I said no I’ve got one in the hotel room I just don’t carry it around with me,it wasn’t until she had looked at me funnily and I heard another cashier asking someone “do you have a treasure card” I realised she was talking about their membership card 🤣🤣😭😭😭
