Sorry, I know I've just posted but I need to have a quick vent. I hope you'll indulge me. I'm hacked off with DH. I told him about limpet baby this evening and how I've done nothing except cuddle her, feed her and change her this week. I have managed to walk the dogs yes and I did make 2 comfort cakes last night when she eventually settled but thats been it. When I mentioned that the house was a tip and I'd got nothing done, all I wanted to hear was don't worry about it or words to that effect. I didn't get that. His solution to the limpet thing was had I thought about 'shoving a bottle down her if she's that hungry'. Firstly I never said she has been perpetually hungry, just that she needed me solidly for 2 days and secondly bfing her isn't all about feeding but also comfort and as she's so cheesed off with her harness a few comfort sucks isn't too much to ask as the harness restricts her arms too so she can't get her thumb in her mouth and she retches if I try to give her a dummy so a close cuddly bf is the best thing for her. Yes it means I get naff all done but there you go. I obviously don't expect him to jump on a train and come and see me for the night (besides I'd have to disturb DD by getting her in the car to pick him up from the sodding train station), but an attempt at empathy would be great.
I also have a gynae appt tomorrow to see about my damaged bits after having DD and will be atking her along for the appt praying she'll be quiet or asleep as it has not occured ot him to come home to help. Nor is he coming with me for DD's hip appt next week despite it definitely being a 2 man job and my mum isn't able to help this time. Grrr.
Thank you. rant over. He's actually very lovely and because I'm with DD he single handedly builds our house at weekends. I just need some overt understanding and sympathy right now....thank you for reading x
