We recently moved to a new area, 300 miles away from all our family and friends so we could buy a house. I like the area and people are friendly but the house needs a lot of work and we need to find jobs, and I am finding it hard being so far from my family (I was a SAHM to our 2 year old and used to spend a couple of days a week with my sister and my nephew who is a similar age to DD). DD is not a great sleeper, she is much much better now than she used to be, but I'm still only getting 5-6 hours sleep a night, and this morning she woke up at 4am and wouldn't go back to sleep.
DH and I keep arguing. To be honest we have always argued, but I'm finding it much harder to deal with now that we have DD, I feel bad that she is hearing and seeing this. This morning DH at about 7 (we sleep in separate rooms, DD in with me) said I should go back to bed and he would take her downstairs. He got up, fell over a toy in a really exaggerated way and then got up and punched a chest of draws. DD was crying 'whats wrong Daddy' so I got annoyed, shouted at him that I was sick of this and that I was leaving. He stayed in bed since then and I'm downstairs watching crap tv with DD. He has form for punching objects when we argue (not people) but I also have form for shouting and threatening to leave. I want to try and make a go of this, but I do miss my family and he is not helping. He stays in bed most mornings, and then says he doesn't have anything to get up for as he doesn't have a job yet. This pisses me off as I'm still doing my 'job' of looking after DD. He also says I'm overreacting to what happened this morning and that DD didn't see him punching things but she was close by and I really don't want her growing up with this. Any views or advice welcome, not sure what I should do
