Ds3 is 4 weeks old and absolutely beautiful and a very easy baby he's very placid feeds well and only waking once in the night. I do not have any anxiety or issues where he is concerned, I am certain that im meeting all his needs and don't doubt my ability to be a good mum to him.
The rest of the family however is a completely different story, I can not stand to talk to or be near any of them. Ds1 & 2 are 5 and 8 so both at school in the day thank god. They don't listen to a word I say, every morning is a battle to get them up dressed fed and off to school then every night same battles to ear tea do homework put the ipad down get ready for bed etc etc etc, same shit day after day after day! Whatever I ask them to do even small things are answered with a No and they carry on doing whatever they want. I try asking nicely, I try offering a biscuit/ sweets as an incentive for doing as asked, shouting at them, taking ipad ps3 3ds away nothing at all will get them to do anything at all they just blatantly ignore me.
Which leads me on to dh, he is very much an anything for a quiet life person and will give said ipad ps3 3ds back as soon as they kick off completely undermining me. Since ds3 was born he's moved out the bedroom and sleeps on ds' bedroom floor. I really don't understand this as baby only gets up once in the night so it's not like he's kept awake all night. He does sod all with ds3 not changed a single nappy made up any bottles bathed him nothing at all. He sometimes picks him up for a cuddle but soon puts him down again. I went out with a friend last week & he got his mum to come down to look after baby so he didn't have to.
All this is making me resent the lot of them I get nothing but grief and aggro from each one of them I get no support whatsoever. It's a good job baby is so easy or I'd be screwed! I love it during the day when it's just me and baby. I could easily (and often do) just sit and cry when the rest are at home. Am I justified in feeling like this? Is it just a case of baby blues? Anyone else feel like they could walk out the door (taking baby with me ) & not come back?
Ps sorry for the long rant
