"Complain, critise and abuse" how motherhood has changed my relationship.

[Flyingkites123]

Have an 18 mo and a 4mo. Walked into my bedroom at 5.10am (had slept in baby's room) to an avalanche of critisms. Apparently I do nothing but " complain critise and abuse" and he's "sick of it." Presumably this was not triggered by my waking into a room but a ln acculturation of issues with me over time.

I hold my hands up to complaining. I do complain. The other 2 verbs...I'm not so sure. So my question is this; is this how other mums are perceived by their partners? Is it a phase ? Is it the beginning of the end? How does "can't stand to be without you" become "can't stand to be in the same room as you"?

I think that's a conversation that you need to have with DP - find out what he means, ask for examples.

No, this is not how other moms are seen by their partners - it seems that something has triggered DP. Do you normally communicate well?

Do you though? Complain and criticise and abuse a lot? What was the last compliment you paid your partner?

How much parenting does your partner do and do you tell him if you think he's not pulling his weight?
