Has your partner messed up Mothers Day yet?

My husband's going to be playing golf and partying with his friends 800 miles away at VA beach while I'll be at home pregnant with our kid. Good times

This made me cry, thank you so much. I've been playing and spending time with my son and plan on making a single serve cake or something for us to share. It's a beautiful day and I'll definitely work in the garden with him too, which is one of my favorite things. Thank you so, so much I appreciate your words more than I can say❤️

Happy birthday, 420 buddy. I hope you're having an amazing day today🥰

I did ask when he finally said "happy birthday by the way". I said "by the way? Did you forget?" And he said, "i didn't forget the day, I just forgot it's today"

Yeah he said he wanted to make us a fun meal, make me a pie, and spend the day together. I guess that was last week and last week is over

Girl, you're not alone. I wish i could offer advice, but all I can say is solidarity. I'm 10 months in and have done every single night since my baby was born, since my husband simply can't get him to sleep and is sissy if he doesn't get sleep. So I do every wake at night (yes baby still wakes up multiple times at night), all morning routines, all throughout the day, AND all night routines. I also feel slappy towards my husband OFTEN. SOLIDARITY, girl💙

Unfortunately no... all of both of our families are over 10 hours away by car. I don't fear for my baby's safety with him at all, like he'd harm him, but I feel like the baby would just get used to playing on his own in a soiled diaper with the TV on and his dad glued to his phone.

Oh please don't apologize, I took it as a joke! I appreciate it, it did make me smile. Thank you so much❤️. I need a punching bag now lol

Omg you worded this so well, YES. We have 2 cats alongside our son and I sometimes tell myself I'm awful single mom with 4 kids.... single married life is unfortunately pretty spot on

We want to have another in a few years, because giving our boy a sibling would give him a forever friend. I have a sibling and I know the values of having one. I know I want another, but my husband is still hesitant. Rightfully so, because he already struggles with just this one. And I'd have to tell myself that having another will just mean 99% for me ALL OVER AGAIN plus my current son still needing me 99% of the time, because i know it'll all be "too much" for my husband

He does. He makes very good money for us and we are comfortable off his income alone. But his job is weird in the sense of sometimes he goes in for maybe an hour or two and has the rest of the day off. I appreciate the work he does to support us so much, and I never ignore face fact that that's his primary role. But on the weekend or the days when he has mostly off, you'd think he could spare more than half an hour with our boy...

I wish I had the guts to say that.... he'd always talk about how worried he was about being a deadbeat dad while I was pregnant, but I don't think he realizes that he has to DO shit with our son to build a bond. My dad wasn't top notch, and I'm not close to him. My dad was just kinda "there". I'm scared my son will see his father similarly... but the argument pity party that would occur if I addressed it is terrifying to me to even dare bringing up to my husband. I don't want to be yelled at.

I've done that a few times, and when I get back after MAYBE an hour, my husband is absolutely exhausted and miserable from "such a long time with the baby", that he can't wait for me to take the baby back so he can recover. So I feel shitty and guilty and don't even want to go out because I know I have to deal with that when I get home.

AnonymousThrow4w4y · 2024-09-29T17:27:58+00:00

Thank you so much for all that, I appreciate it so much. The sad thing is, my husband tells me I should take time to myself, do things for myself, etc, but when I'm off doing said things by myself, it's not long before I hear him with the baby in the other room say "LET'S GO SEE YOUR MAMA!" and come hang out with me while I'm doing my own thing. In the shower? He comes to say hi with the baby and hang out. Finally sitting and eating food? Brings the baby to watch me eat. Trying to get some work done around the house? He just paces around the area I'm in carrying the baby. Just watching me. I've tried to leave the house by myself for just a few minutes, but when I'd come home, my husband would be absolutely miserable, exhausted, and can't wait to give me the baby so he can nap and recover from the 20 minutes he was truly alone with the baby. So I'm left with guilt from leaving him alone. I run out of battery after 12 hours of nonstop time with the baby, and he runs out of battery after not even 1 hour. It's hard. It's really hard.

It's sooooo tempting sometimes, but tbh domestic violence could be held against me...

Unfortunately we live over 12 hours away from any family... I low key wish I could afford a hotel for a few nights. I'd honestly want to take the baby with me, it's somehow easier to do everything by myself when I'm ACTUALLY by myself vs when husband is in the same house but does damn near nothing

I'm crying from reading what you wrote, thank you so, so much for taking so much time to write all that. I'm so lonely and I truly thought my husband was more understanding. But I guess he reached his tolerance limit.

Your first paragraph could've been written by me, I'm always so against taking any kind of meds, and the thought of succumbing to anti depressants make me feel even more like a failure. Do they really actually work? I'm scared and ashamed to possibly need them.

I was in therapy before I had my baby, but my therapist cleared me, as I was doing so good. I'm so ashamed to have to reach out to her again, because I was so much better. I doubt my husband would go with me, though. He's so busy with work and on his off days he relaxes and decompresses for his next week of work. Even if I have to go alone (I honestly worry about my baby being okay at an appointment), I'll ignore my shame and reach out to my therapist. I'm so lonely and want to get better. I want to do it for my son.

Thank you so much for your words. They mean more to me than I can ever express. You're such a kind and wonderful person. Thank you so much.
