Baby is a few months old still really young. And DP is just annoying me lately I don’t know why

We’ve had some argument. Both quite sleep deprived but I do feel like I could have more help and that he doesn’t see motherhood as a job :/

It’s really bothering me the freedom he has and how he thinks we’ll you’re on maternity leave just do it. He is a good parent and does things but when I’m tired midweek and ask him to cover a bottle or 2 in the night he reminds me how he goes to work but I feel like I go to work too?

Is it normal to be irritated by partners post birth? I love him I’m just very short fused at the minute and we haven’t had any time together

I think you’re being unreasonable. Currently on Mat Leave myself and tbh don’t see motherhood as a “job” at all. I don’t see fatherhood as a job either, do you?? You can’t really say you’re working all day the same as him! He should be helping when he’s not at work but tbh you can recover from nightfeeds, he can’t while he’s at work!

I found it tough.
Everyone’s different.
Dd1 never slept except on me
Dd2 fed and slept well.

It’s being on demand 24/7 that’s exhausting. I work and had mat leave. Working easier imo.
