Does anyone else ever just get mad when your significant other is sleeping when the baby finally goes to bed?

Okay mad is probably the wrong word. More like upset. My boyfriend will 7 times out of 10 be knocked out after I get our little one to bed. And it shouldn’t bother me because I know he gets up before the sun to go to work but sometimes when you’re a SAHM and all you want is him it just sucks.. (especially when the day was freaking horrible) and when you finally get to have some one on one time together he’s knocked out. And before anyone says “just wake him up” he’s literally impossible to get up 97% of the time. I feel horrible when I pester him to get up but sometimes I’m just really really lonely… so now I’m just sitting here alone listing to the dryer clink around and I just want to cry.. for no reason. He’s exhausted and know he needs his rest but it would have just been nice to have some adult human interaction today I guess… I just needed to vent any I feel like all the other people in my life either won’t reply or just won’t really care.

I know you’re making this an incognito post but please feel free to message me at any time. I completely get this feeling and I want you to now that you’re not alone. My partner is veryyy similar and I get very upset at times. Except he DOESN’T wake up early and is asleep when our baby wakes up and a lot of the time he’s asleep before the baby goes to bed but I will give him credit and say that recently he has been better about helping me put the baby to bed before he knocks out.

If you’ve got a boyfriend/husband…

Does his lack of common sense at home ever make you question how he is so successful in his work

I love my husband but I really do question his critical thinking sometimes especially when it comes to the kids and completing basic tasks 😂

Struggling FTM

Hi I am a first time mom and I am struggling right now. My baby is almost 6 months old and fighting his naps so bad and it’s breaking my heart seeing him get so upset. I am exhausted, sad, and feel so alone. I don’t know what to do.

Need ideas

I’m a SAHM with a 2 month old baby boy and I can get bored pretty quickly lol. Yes, I keep our house clean, the laundry done, have watched multiple shows, and we go visit my grandmother every Thursday…. but I need something more. What are some ideas to do that I can take my 2 month old to do with me to get out of the house before I go crazy! lol

P.S. I do live in Texas and it is HOT right now, so going on walks isn’t an option at this moment as I don’t want to keep my LO in the heat for so long.

i’m starting to realize

being a sahm or mom who’s with the babies/kids the most means you get zero sick days. i don’t get sick a bunch but when i do i still have to take care of my toddler 24/7. i have food poisoning? oh well, my husband won’t call out of work and i still have to get everything done in between the bathroom runs. my husband has gout or body aches? he’s out for the count ALLLLLL DAY. sleeping mainly. and kind of a dick. i can’t even remember the last time I’ve even slept past 7am. but he does it on the regular.

3yo gets ignored by other kids

My 3yo is super friendly and will approach other kids to play. Some will play with him but the majority just point blank ignore him and avoid him. It really makes me sad for him. Why are kids so antisocial? I really hope this doesn't crush his confidence in the long term future.

Just wondering are your kids the social butterfly or the antisocial one...
