Husband is struggling, he has some sick days off work and is upset there is no support or compassionate leave when you have a child with health issues. Baby had a small heart op to buy time for a bigger one few months later. We've been in hospital 2 weeks. Also he got a speeding fine day baby was born.
Every small thing is upsetting him, I have been in hospital for the last 2 weeks with our 2 month old and we have a 3 year old. He has been driving an hour everyday to us and back, taking her to preschool first although at times he brought her with him.
He had a speeding fine for doing 60 on a motorway which was 50 due to roadworks, hours after baby was born . The night before I had a balloon induction and we didn't get any sleep, we were up all night during labour the following day, baby was born 4am and had to go to intensive care for monitoring then me and her stayed in hospital a week.He drove home that day at 10pm. In hindsight maybe he should've booked a hotel room. I can't remember if there might have been a reason he went home, possibly for 3 year old at grandmother's.
I told him to appeal the fine but he says it's a waste of time to go to court. I don't expect much from work and governments but he is struggling with lack of support. Maybe he's stressed as he can't mentally go to work right now and it's all too much to juggle and cope.
Any advice and do u reccomend any threads to add this to. Many thanks
