Just pissed off about it

I've had our son 7am - bed and he's already woken up twice

It's my last day of mat leave, son vomited a few times in the day and a bit under the weather

I knew he was going out but just think it's pretty shitty to be out of contact when we have an 8 month old baby whose unwell. Not sure how he'll get home without battery now as public transport is coming up to stopping where we live at this time.

Why do men get to opt in and out of parenting?

Don't even want to see him when he gets back (promised owildnt be late as my parents over tomorrow for the weekend)

Fed up

@chocolateanddietcoke

this Op!
breastfeeding may not be viable once you return to work
your well-being and health and sleep matter just as much at the baby’s!

I’ve been married for thousands of years and my tip is to be kinder than kind

youre cross because tired BUT being patient and indulgent gets you way more than terse and snappy. This also works with teenagers!!

you won’t remember this in years to come but be patient (even if furious) and you’re buying yourself masses of upper hand

Meant to add. It’ll TOTALLY confuse him. And make him feel bad without you doing a THING
