Not really sure where to start. Don't actually have a group of friends in RL to talk to and my family are even more distant with me since dd was born. Apologies in advance if long winded, and I know my situation is trivial compared to what some women have to deal with...
Been with dp 4 years, planned a baby once we bought our first house together, feel pregnant straight away once we started trying and thought everything was turning out pretty perfectly. Was really such during pregnancy but dp was, well, a total arse! Didn't understand how I felt and didn't try, had me in tears a lot cos I foolishly thought he would want to take care of me. Not a romantic at all! But things got better, and during labour he was amazing, a real star and I couldn't believe how nice he was. But again, this didn't last. He has a problem with change and that's all that happens when you have a baby! Our dd was so unsettled if be in tears a lot feeling totally useless. Don't have any support other than dp, but all he is interested in is why I haven't cleaned the house! Dd is nearly 6 months and yesterday she cried pretty much all day because she was fighting sleep, she also has eczema so itches like crazy and may or may not be teething. Combination of everything.. Today she has finally slept but I an so exhausted all I want to do is sit down and have a cup of tea!
I do try to keep the house clean, but tbh I've never been the show home type. washing is always done and every room is tidy ish. If I didn't have dd and wasn't working I WOULD have the house spotless all the time.
Now I don't know if I'm just making excuse for myself. Dpsays I'm disorganised and lazy, but he grew up in a clinically clean environment where he want even allowed colouring pens cos they were too messy.
