I'm probably over reacting, but i'm getting my knickers in a twist about going back to work and my partner is making it worse
dd has refused a bottle since she was 4wks old, only just starting to take a couple of ounces at a time now, although she is 7 months so on solids and doing well yadda yadda....but obviously as a result of being excl BF for so long, she and i have never been apart for more than 3hrs (which is i'm sure part of the reason i am getting so upset - i'm fightimg back tears now), and dp has never been alone with her for more than 2hrs...(he only has one full day off work a week, so it's difficult to get him to spend time alone with her at present cos obviously we all want to be together when he is off)....but the real problem is he is so touchy whenever i try to advise him on her needs, and i'm not talking about me giving him PFB intructions like 'she only likes the blue rabbit in her left hand when she naps', i mean like he does know when she's hungry, or even how much milk to give her etc, when i try to talk to him he just brushes me off with a breezy 'we'll be fine!'...
part of me thinks right you fucker, we'll see how fine you feel at the end of my first day back, ha ha!! but then the other half of me is v worried cos DD will be unhappy and i'm at work for 12 and a half hours at a time (only once a week before you all flame me).....
i am feeling so miserable about going back, and i can't stand the thought of her crying for me.....give me a slap/hug/talking to and sort me out.
