{{ HUGS }} to you mosschops30, men can be a tad insensitive at times.....I think you guys need to try and talk soon tho, weekends coming up, so maybe a good time?
I guess ds is rather young still if I remember rightly, and its hard enough work juggling one child, never mind one and a baby right! (just if your at work all day you don't always see that bit...)
My guess is dh is very tired, as are you...sleep on it, try and be nice in the morning and when he gets home tomorrow ask to sit down for a chat once the kids are in bed and tell him how you feel....
Re baby weight, don't worry too much, my main weight took 9mths to drop off, (that old saying eh!) and then I managed another half a stone in the last half a year, and still could do with loosing another half, so your not alone on that one but don't push yourself too hard.

Hmmmmm, do you think its cause he's feeling pressured too, what with work n extra kids n all that, blokes aren't always good at talking about it are they? would it be worth trying to write it down for him?

don't worry it's not just u, DH keeps calling my a 'witch' at the minute regardless of what I do, it seems to be his word of the week. so if I don't turn over the TV/ make a cuppa he say's i'm a witch - I mean how bloody rude can men be?

does he do anything around the house to help? or help with baby?

it may just be he is just as tired.

i know jm and i have argueed before because we were both tired her from looking after dd and me because of work and doing housey things and looking after dd 2!

but then we would wake up in the morning and all would be fine.

he could also just have things on his mind.

being a man i no, we dont like talking about our problems it dents our ego, if we cant sort it then no one can.!!1

omg- its like talking to my wife a while ago, she felt the same way as you do now.

looking back on it i did treat her like dirt, not intentionally i might add.

it took her telling me that she had had enough and was leaving me ( she said this as she was literally leaving), before i got knocked back to reality, and realized the errors of my ways.

we are so happy now, and respect each other, and talk about how we are feeling on a daily basis.

Mosschops30, my dh and I went through a phase of this after dd1 was born.

I think it takes much longer for a man to realise all the things that have to be done when you have a baby. Things are totally different to when you were just a couple and women adjust to the situation more quickly.
