Hi ladies,
I feel that my husband is not interested about our baby who is 9weeks old. He doesn't do much with him, occasionally plays with him a little bit or takes him for a cuddle for a few minutes but that is it.
My husband normally works 6days a week and I get that he gets tired but surely he must know that I'm exhausted, I say it all the time. He is currently on furlough and will be for another 10days or so but he does not wake up during the night to help with the feeds. In fact he doesn't feed him..he did few times in his first weeks but now everything is left on me. I express my milk and he knows that there's plenty of milk in the fridge which just needs to be warmed up. I've said loads of times that I'm dreaming of a night when I will be able to rest fully and just sleep all the night through... I've told him that he seems uninterested and that he doesn't help me.. so the day after he did try a little bit more, he changed his nappy once, helped to bath him and played with him for maybe an hour. The next day, all forgotten and back to nothing.. he says he is always anxious about money etc with work but surely he can't just let me do everything. Also just to mention that he does cook dinner more often now that he's on furlough but that's it. Do you guys think thats normal? Do your husbands help you a lot? During the night I take my boy with his moses basket downstairs to our living room where I feed him, get him to sleep and pump before coming back upstairs with the baby in his basket and me back in the bed, the dad sleeps through and is hardly interrupted during the night. Let me know what you think girls please. My anger is just getting bigger towards him.
