To feel a bit neglected

[edwinbear]

My first AIBU.....DD is 6 weeks old, I also have DS who is 28 months. I have spent most of today squeezing every tiny drop of spare milk I have, out of my over used boobs - when my growth spurting baby and jealous toddler will give me a moments peace. I had hoped that my ready made Waitrose beef welingtons might entice my husband to have a conversation with me, and maybe, some physical contact, but having given said DD her hard won bottle, he has fucked off to bed. Leaving me, wondering why I bothered.

Awww sounds like fucking hard work.

But remember things always seem much shitter at two odd in the morning.

Not saying they don't at the other times, but if you're feeling unsupported and a bit isolated, there's nobody you can call on to reassure you that everything will be OK.

I'm only a random stranger, but everything will be OK.

Tell your DH you'd like to set apart a time to talk about how you feel and when's best for him? (when he's not tired, got ankle biters on each leg, or drunk)

Then hold him to that time and get him to acknowledge he might not be supporting you as much as he could.

Although I admit I'm probably reading a lot into a very short OP

Happy new year

Have you explained to him how you feel? Men are a bit shit at subtle hints sometimes

Yes, i think in the cold light of day, perhaps I ought to talk to him about it before it snowballs into a much bigger issue. God it's hard work with two of them, but bless him, he did get up at 6am with DS this morning to let me sleep in.
