My daughter is 7 months old, and she's our first baby. A few months ago, I first noticed how much anger I have inside me. I fantasize smashing things with baseball bat and throwing plates outside. My husband has been really amazing, he tries so hard to listen to me and find solutions to relieve my anger. He goes for a long walk with the baby to give me a break, suggests me to do things that I like doing.
But I feel hatred towards him multiple times a day. Since I had the baby, I realized what a control freak I am. I am cautious with everything, while my husband is more relaxed and want to raise our baby tougher. I think it's probably how I was raised, my parents were very strict and cautious when they raised me. Because I know how suffocating it can be, so I think it's actually great that my husband's relaxed approach balances it out. So I try to internalize a lot, and so many times when I want to say something to my husband, I try to hold back now. And it's becoming really hard and I am just constantly angry at him.
"Why doesn't he check the food's temperature before feeding her?" "Why does he dress her so lightly when taking her out?"
I hate him so much that I even hate how he hums and makes stupid noises to entertain the baby. I am worried and sad that I am driving my husband mad, and I'm ruining our relationship.
I am seeing the health visitor next monday for a check up on our baby, maybe I will talk to her about it. I just wanted to share it here in the hopes of hearing some advices/thoughts...
