Hi
I have thought about posting this for a little while now but today I have had enough. My dd is 12 weeks old and I feel total lack of support from dp. He keeps going on about me breastfeeding in public or in front of friends and now keeps asking if we can go on nights out and "get our lives back." She is only 12 weeks old and I really have no intention of leaving her for a night out yet. He wasn't like this with our ds but straight from the start I have felt unsupported this time round. Not just with the breastfeeding but the whole parenting in general. He keeps saying things like our lives are over and he can't bear the thought if the next 4 years of childcare costs etc. Etc.
It's starting to really get me down. I am so happy with our two dcs and can't get my head around his negative comments. I had a miscarriage last year and so was so looking forward to dds arrival. I feel totally alone as he seems to get little to no joy from her and spends most his time on his phone when at home. Even watching videos when I ask him to watch the kids for 5 mins while I take a shower etc.
Anyone else had similar? What should I do?
