I am the proud mum of a young baby. I know that compared to most of the problems posted on here this is pretty trivial but could still do with some input.
My relationship with my husband has changed since we had the baby and from talking to other new mums they are exactly the same. My hubby is great at doing night feeds, giving me some time to myself at the weekends, and helping out round the home but its his attitude to things that I sometimes find a bit frustrating. From talking to him I know he views looking after our son as a task no different from mowing the lawn or doing the dishes and as a result I have to give him loads of praise for doing it, very frustrating when I get little thanks for doing it all day and only get appreciated when I do "real" jobs like making the dinner or hanging out washing. Also when he looks after him its pretty much sticking him under the play gym or on the bouncer until he starts crying.
We have had a great weekend because due to an argument we discussed a number of things and we both made a real effort but I am wondering how long it will last.
I love my hubby and our littlun very much and I just want everything to work and I wondered is it just a male thing to see things differently and how do we work through it? Also any examples of insensitive comments from other halfs to make me laugh are good...
