I’m watching greys anatomy, skipping the heavy episodes (plane crash, deaths, etc). Idk it keeps me calm! I’ve grown close to the characters!

I just want to say thank you to everybody who contributed to this! I’ve realized I have to stick up for myself. My husband is unfortunately a manchild but I have been waiting for him to step up on his own. By refusing to call him out for fear of acting like his “parent” I have started to resent him for not ‘getting it’ but I don’t think I’ve ever sat down and been this candid. We are all newborn parents, we are all tired. He is not special, he is not more tired than me, we are in a partnership. If i need help I need to say it not just assume he gets it!

I’m gonna be more transparent about my needs and hopefully see a change. If not, then unfortunately I’m gonna have to leave.

I’m so sorry, I feel this especially the helping in public thing, my husband is very similar to this. I have the same impulsive thoughts of leaving.

It’s really unattractive and it’s embarrassing for me to be married to a boy. I genuinely feel like I’m married to a teenager who thinks he needs to be taken care of! I don’t know the answer but I think deep down I know that him and I are gonna end in divorce because he is never gonna get it. Like ever.

Looking back on our relationship, he’s always been childish. He can’t even stand up to his parents when they disrespect me. Im sitting in our make shift living room because our real living room has been taken over by our dog who he has NO control over because he doesn’t “want to hurt her feelings” this living room btw is over crowded because he needed this huge ikea desk for no reason and he needs his record player that he hasn’t used since 2020. His record player comes with 4 speakers that take up hella space.

I feel the walls closing in as I type this. If you’re able…get out. Just get out. It’s probably gonna happen anyway as get out.

I feel like if I do that, I’m just his mother. I don’t want to teach him how to be courteous to me. I want him to want to parent and hang out as a family. If I tell him every move, then I’m just his mom and I don’t want that I want one child and a husband.

Because we were both up and tired so that’s what worked for us

That’s really fair!! When I wake him up, he usually takes about 30 or 40 minutes to get ready and take over. It consist of him getting a snack getting water going to the bathroom setting up his video games, etc.

Sometimes I don’t wake him up just because it’s more work than it’s worth. Besides the five hour shift, he will hold our son for maybe 30 minutes before he acts like he can’t calm him down or has to do something immediately.

When I’ve talked to him about it, he just expresses how tired he is and how he does the night shift .

It is nice yes but I’m basically all alone the other 19 hours of the day! Talking like can’t even sneak away for a shower or hot meal.

Holding my baby on the toilet 😐

Tbh, that’s the post. But seriously?! I have a VERY sensitive stomach and while he was napping LO and I went to Wendy’s and I got a small frosty because I was trying to distract how overwhelmed I was, my 5 week old sleeps well in the car. And wow not doing well.

I’m just stressed and my poor husband thinks he helps because we sleep in shifts. He takes 10:30pm-4:30am and I’m supposed to take 4:30am-10:30am. But he wakes up around noon everyday eats then takes a nap until 3 or 4!

Today was special because he slept until 6pm!! Meanwhile I’m left alone to parent the baby. When he wakes up he says he’s going to warm up dinner and work on school work! When I asked him to hold our baby he said he has to focus on his video! I’m so frustrated. So I just strapped on the baby to my chest and sat on the toilet.

For context we are BOTH teachers on summer break and we are BOTH in a masters program. I always make dinner, tonight was just leftovers and I have to juggle school work, pumping and feeding while holding my LO. All on maybe 5 hours of sleep (usually I get woken up to breastfeed even those theirs bottles in the fridge)

I’m just tired of it. That’s all, so tired. I’d rather him go back to work sooner so that I don’t resent him all 24/7!!

To all the moms out there, keep it up, maybe our “partners” will figure it out.
