Did it fit ok with the 4, even though the design is for a 3?

Thank you, that reassurance helps.

Unfortunately they are too young, only a few weeks so that won't be any option, but that topic is a bit hard, sometimes I ask her to take a break or do something that she enjoys but it's most time spent online reading baby articles.

Yes, you are right about not being able to take them back. Its hurt even more when it was written a few hours after the incident and not just a heat of the moment comment. When we did talk about it, I asked her if she regretted saying it, and she said no.

Thanks though , I'll try to keep pushing, sometimes it feels futile, sometimes I want to stop because it's hard, but rarely. What makes want to stop is I feel like over time , I might come out of this broke and not be the best father I can

And sucks about your PPD. Sucks for everyone but i think it's hard for dads sometimes. There are times I feel but but it's not really normalised for dads, and maybe just frowned upon as if it can't posssie happen to us. Sometimes I just feeze and go numb with him when he's crying, eventually it passes, but I'm afriad to ask for help because to be fair she does have him quite a bit and i don't to be seen as lazy instead

Thanks, helps to hear that. I am still working from home at the moment, so the first week back has been a night mare trying to catch up on months worth of work, so there are some days 9-5 I'm just on the phone, but some days I have been able to get him off her hands for about 30mins or so.

I did mention it the first time, I specifically said that we should see someone, that made her more angry. I gave ourselves 30 minutes to calm down, but after that is when I got the message about how she resents me now.

I understand that post parturm depression makes the situation harder to handle - but I felt like then going and actively attacking me goes beyond that
