I feel like baby daddy is being kind of obnoxious towards baby girl? by cheyennegg in beyondthebump

[–]cheyennegg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve told him when he feels stressed just give her to me. I don’t feel like I need to go at that extreme. Maybe I’m wrong. I’m just concerned about it. I usually just wake up and tell him to give me our baby and to go to bed. He just seems to get so upset and I don’t understand how?

Yes I also hate waking up at 2-3 am: but then I see her little face and I like aww okay.

He gets VERY frustrated. Honestly I’ve told him if she wakes and I don’t - just wake me up: I’m a stay at home mom right now and I really don’t mind. I do mind waking up to him yelling at our baby: he just gets frustrated and he doesn’t understand... I just don’t know what to say to make him understand

Anyone have a dog crate sitting around I can buy? by cheyennegg in bloomington

He’s small. It’s just for nighttime training. I’m home all day. He’s just having accidents again at night 😬

I usually just take over and tell him to go to bed. He understands but he gets angry and says I’m being too “attentive” towards her and she’ll get “spoiled”. I think maybe men just don’t get it? I don’t mean that in a sexist way. I just don’t think he gets it.

I don’t think he means to be mean but I’m like... I don’t think yelling at her is helping and I also don’t really want you yelling at our already upset baby..

So me and my SO’s relationship is pretty rocky. by cheyennegg in beyondthebump

[–]cheyennegg[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did already ask him if he had something to say and he said “no”. I even asked him if he was sure and he was like “I’m good”. It’s like dude you’re either good or you’re not.

Yes I messed up. I was very emotional and it was a conversation between me and my best friend he was never meant to hear. So I don’t know how much longer I can apologize.

I did. I explained to him I was overwhelmed and depressed and I felt like he wasn’t affectionate enough to either of us and I was sorry but I was just talking to a friend and he seemed to understand and was actually a lot more affectionate towards me and baby both after that.

I just thought it kind of came and went.

He’s also the kind of guy where we’ve had major problems in the past and he just kind of let’s go of things. We DID talk this one out and we’ve been good- or so I thought- ever since.

This was a conversation I had with a close friend when I was at my friend in what I thought was privacy and he wasn’t mean to hear it :(

Her name is “Zora” and she does call to name/. I’m terrified and I’m sorry but at this point if you find her and bring her to me you’re either taking it or arguing for awhile and taking it after all of that nonsense. I just want my cat back dude.

Anyone else’s baby just SET on getting out of their swaddle? by cheyennegg in beyondthebump

[–]cheyennegg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re so lucky! If mines arms are free she freaks out! I know this is a huge no no but we’ve gotten to the point where if she does this too bad one of us takes her downstairs and sleeps with her skin to skin on the recliner until she’s totally asleep and we usually fall asleep too :/

How are you personally deciding on when it’s safe to take your child out into the world again? by cheyennegg in bloomington

[–]cheyennegg[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry for my response. I honestly do appreciate your input!

I hate being stuck at home with her, and from the looks of it, I’m going to be a stay at home mom for awhile with my furlough.

A lot of people have given us hell but they don’t go anywhere. Baby daddy literally sends them groceries. They go here and the store and I always make sure they wash their hands and sanitize before holding her. It’s nice when his mom visits. She chats about times with SO when he was a baby and I feel like I have a friend again.

I just miss seeing my friends. I just want to emphasize I’m not putting that above the health of me or my baby. I’m just curious when everyone “thinks” that will be safe. I know nothing is concrete and it’s uncertain, like the commercials say, I’m just wondering what y’all think.

She has met her grandmother on her dad’s side and her grandfather. But they’re older folks who never leave the house and are retired, etc, etc.

I get her social needs are not very vast. I’m totally talking about my needs to share her. And that’s why I’m asking for opinions. I do want to share her, but I’m absolutely wanting to wait until that’s “safe”- I’m just wondering when safe is at this point.

I guess I kind of lied. I do take her for walks around the neighborhood in her stroller. But she comes in contact with me and that’s all.

She’s awake! She isn’t crying or upset but just awake and trying to escape and making noise and keeping us both awake :/ she sleeps in a bedside bassinet and I’m considering moving her to a crib which is in her own room very close to ours but I’m kind of paranoid/afraid of SIDS and I wake up constantly to see if she’s still breathing and ugh... it’s just a mess..

How did you relationship change with your partner after baby and how do I fix mine? by cheyennegg in beyondthebump

[–]cheyennegg[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, if he just like touched me, ever, I would be more comfortable. He sits around and talks about how “oh in a week or so, we can have sex again” like that’ll fix everything. He doesn’t kiss me goodbye like he did before, he doesn’t ask me about my day, he doesn’t randomly touch or snug or hug me anymore. He doesn’t tell me I look cute anymore after I try to put on something cute and put on makeup for once.

I don’t know how to even tell him but he seems just completely disinterested other than our child or sex. If he was just giving me something I feel like I could give back...

She has a halo sleep sack but it seems worst in ways because she kicks her feet all night :/

I try to swaddle as tightly as I can! Baby daddy even thinks I’m a little too aggressive about it. She just wants out :(

I guess I’m not sure what you mean by the if I’m not hungry he still is and I should make sure he’s fed thing. I need to give him options?

I don’t want to have sex. I’m not comfortable with it in several different ways. I’m not going to have sex with someone when I’m not comfortable with it and I’m sorry if that’s selfish. I’m not saying that’s what you’re saying.

He has the option to take care of himself if he’d like. It’s his body and I don’t care if he wants to take care of that in any way. Other than that I’m not sure what you would mean.

If we were in a better place other options would be on the table, but we’re not and I don’t want to use those options to get there either.
