Tough patches?

[diamonsde]

Fell into bit of a rough patch after DS1 2.5 years ago, got good again then pregnant with DS2 who is 3.5mo now

i feel like a rough patch is here again. Were tired. Snappy. Have a newborn and toddler.

DH tends to be a bit overdramtic in situations. Not being mean but he can be. Our first ever ‘spat’ he was going to call it a day then even reflected a month or so later that that idea was silky

DH says. I’ve changed I’m different I’m snappy - I am and I’ve had 2 pregnancies and 2 surgical childbirths. I run on 2-4 hours sleep a day I am very stressed

i Think relationships take work, he just says he’s unhappy and isn’t willing to?

My PoV is our very young kids are current priority, our relationship can be a bit more of one when they’re a bit older? But even aspect like we will have a date soon I will ask my parents to babysit the boys

hes just impatient and I’m really upset at the things he’s said

You are so right OP, its a difficult time and it's expected to be. Most people with very young children are just plodding along trying to get through the day or night and don't have the capacity to deal with much else. Of course you have changed, you are a parent now and he should have known that would change you. I think your DH is being a bit naive, I wonder does he have friends with children too, if he does he should talk to them about their relationships too and realise this is normal life.
