Sorry but I need a moan!
Husband doing my head in. I text him this afternoon saying that I could do with some help tonight when he gets in from work as I can’t do tea, bath the baby, feed baby, get him to sleep, sterilize bottles and sort night time bottles out by a reasonable hour by myself (hubby has a habit of moaning if we have tea too late or if we don’t get much time together). Anyway, whilst little one was having his nap I managed to do tea so that it just needed reheating when dh came in from work. I also managed to bath the baby and feed him before he got in. Anyway, he had the cheek to say to me later on ‘are you not getting a shower tonight?’ ‘I will be yes but it’s taken well over an hour to get he baby to sleep, I’ve had to sterilize bottles and I’m now sorting bedtime bottles. You’ve also had a shower and I haven’t had time yet.’ Dh ‘why couldn’t you bath the baby before?’ Me ‘he was asleep? As soon as he woke up I bathed him. I was actually quite pleased that I’d got nearly everything done before you got home’. Dh then says that I’m moaning?!?!
Anyway, he’s not done anything to help out at all, he’s decided to get on the whiskey and talk to his mates on the phone for the rest of the evening. He took the dog out before so that he didn’t have to help with the baby.
Sorry it’s long, I just needed to rant! I’m fed up of doing absolutely everything myself. I told him before that I really wanted a bath tonight, son is nearly 4 months old and I’ve only had one since he’s been born. Even then he very reluctantly kept an eye on him. I never got my bath, gutted as I have a lush bath bomb crying out to be used! Fed up asking him for his help and him not doing anything. I understand he works (6/7 days a week at the min) but we are meant to be parents together.
