Tiny bit of a rant

[Emmalou91]

Don’t know if il gain anything from this but I need a rant 😭 I feel like I’m a single mum even when im not I do literally everything and have done for the past three months. I have a 7 year old and a three month old, I haven’t had one nights sleep since our three month old was born, my partners excuse is that he doesn’t wake up, he doesn’t feed him because he takes it better for me apparently, he won’t bath him because he’s scared, I’m honestly running on fumes at the moment 😭 I’m full of a cold, constantly got a thumping headache and our little ones caught it too so double the work he usually is. I just feel so angry because I get literally no help, I went up to bed whilst little one was asleep earlier half an hour later my partner brings him upstairs and leaves him with me 😭 someone please tell me it gets easier

I would tell you it gets easier but I'm afraid what I will say is your partner needs to buck up his ideas and do more! My husband doesn't do night feeds because I breastfeed but he changes her nappy first thing and plays with her and he plays with and baths her in the evening. I literally hand her to him when he walks in from work! Tell him to stop being lazy. If he's scared to bath her he can watch you do it and learn.

He needs to practice to get better at these things. I get it, babies can be scary, they're so fragile. But he needs to be proactive and get on with it

He doesn't sound like a very supportive husband. At the very least when bed home he would be chief parent for the needs of the 7 year old so that uou can focus on the needs of the baby.
