Ok I know toddlers can regress a bit when a new baby arrives but has anyone's husband ?
We've just had baby no 4 she is 7 nearly 8 weeks old now - each time my husband goes through this childish, moody attention seeking thing -
This time ( following a bleed on my brain ) I had an emergency section - my husband has been ridiculous- he's moody , won't even make the bed behind himself, empty his bath water , putt Tea bag in the bin etc he is angry I havnt made time for sex Confused
Last night at dinner my 2 yr old started crying / husband threw his fork down , got changed and took himself out for dinner - we havnt spoken since !! He said the house is too disorganised ( he does nothing to help)
I got myself driving after 2 weeks because he gave the kids the day off because he couldn't get up for the school run Angry
I'm doing all the cooking/ cleaning and I don't mind but ffs - what is his problem - is it an attention thing - is he like a toddler ?? Anyone else had this problem with an overgrown baby ??

If you do all that you are not a SAHM....a SAHM keeps the home and children working freeing husband to do his OWN paperwork, phone answering, bookings etc. You are a WFHM (work from home mum) whilst juggling the home/children etc. And actually you could (should) legitimately be on the books

There's even more advantages for him - having a stay at home spouse can have significant career advantages. There is no missed time due to children's illness, they can be flexible about leaving time rather than needing to pick up kids from childcare, and those two things alone give the impression of being more reliable and more committed to a company. Men with sahw's progress faster on the career ladder than those with working wives. He doesn't have to work after a broken night, as many men whose wives also work, will have to. He doesn't have to cook, clean or shop in evenings or weekends (or certainly not to the same extent) Studies continue to show that men with sahw's are physically and emotionally better off.

Please do not blame yourself for his behaviour or make excuses. His behaviour is not normal and if I was in your situation I would not put up with it.
