Am I in the wrong?
We only let my parents watch our 1 year old. Today, while my husband was at work, I went to my mom's house and took a shower while my parents took my baby to the grocery shop. For the last few weeks, I've been struggling with my mental health, and my hygiene hasn't been great because of that. My husband kicked off and said that I'm disrespecting our relationship and boundaries and that he'll be staying in a hotel until I leave the apartment.
We've had issues like this before, but im tired of him not understanding that I just need a minute sometimes
Am I being inconsiderate?
Feeling sad
Hi everyone, just wondered if I’m being sensitive here.
I absolutely love my 10 week old and every minute spent with him, I absolutely love motherhood and even the crying and screaming doesn’t stress me. For that reason I do 24/7 baby care and the times my partner has him - I want him back!
My partner has started getting angry at me when he gets home from work if I’ve not done his dinner, or done the recycling or other household chores. Tonight for example, I’d messaged him saying I’ve got a freezer meal out for him - when he got back he said he wasn’t hungry. Fine. Then proceeds to get angry because his dinner wasn’t on the table…confused. Apparently all I’ve done today was hug the baby and go to a cafe (true…but I also walked the dog, emptied the dishwasher, did washing, sterilised 10 bottles and fed and changed our baby 20 times!). He thinks I’m just lazing around the house. He says I should just let the baby cry while I do the chores. No.
He’s got angry at me several times now and I’m struggling to get dinner ready and do everything else with the baby. He said “our mums did it why can’t you”. Both our mums were stay at home parents so I guess he’s right.
How do you do it?! I just can’t seem to get everything done, I’m failing massively. I go back to work in June next year so have some time to work it out. I feel under such pressure to be a perfect housewife for my maternity leave, but I do think he’s being a bit unfair saying I do nothing. He wants me to do everything around the house so any tips welcome on how the hell I do that with a 10 week old and a massive dog.
