I have 2 DC's and am 7 months pregnant with the 3rd. I work part time and am actively involved in a charity, DC1 is SN, DC2 is sickly and has just come out of hospital and sleep deprivation is getting to me.
Last night, DH, who is a high flyer, went out after work and got in around 1am. DC2 requires medicating and feeding in the night and it now appears, that apparently, there was an unspoken agreement that i do all the night time looking after that i had no idea existed. At 4 am, exhausted by both children, i went and found DH in the spare room and told him i was exhausted and it was his turn. Half an hour later, i could still hear the baby crying and went to investigate. DH hadn't given his medicine or his milk and the poor little thing was crying. "I didn't know" despite having done it hiself two nights previously. "Why did you wake me up, night time is your responsibility". So, a full scale row which, i'm embarrassed to say i ended with telling him to fuck off and i was going to call a lawyer first thing today.
To not drip feed, we're not particularly happy but i want to keep the family together as he is usually a good father.
I'm just so angry that he thought his needs completely outshine mine because he goes to an office. I am beyond exhausted and just don't get any recognition for it.
