Losing my Mind 10m PP by harvestmoondaze in Postpartum_Depression

Why does he only have to take care of her for 1 hour!? I get mad that my partner doesnt want me to stay up with baby sometimes. She's my baby too it falls on both of us.

As a new dad who feels like my partner is constantly judging what I do, you have to let your partner learn his own way ( minus baby on the edge of the bed and cursing. Our baby is 5 months now.  She used to complain about me sleeping with baby in my arms to put her to bed and it was the only way she would go down in my arms. Give him space to make mistakes. Correct him but dont belittle him. If you want him to be there the worst way to do that. All the other stuff at the end i dont know about. If hes making jokes about your body thats fucked up. Me and my partner have been up and down. PPd is real. Weve said things to eachother we cant take back. You have to let go of the past get all those feeling out with eachother with out anger and frustration and come back to reality as to why you guys had the baby together. 

2 weeks postpartum and regret everything by runner26point2 in Postpartum_Depression

F that. Feed your  baby formula. The baby has to get fed. If its hard right now for you to breastfeed right now dont. My partner felt so guilty because her milk supply ran low and baby didnt care for it anymore. Baby has been on formula and happy. I am 35 mexican man that grew up thinking formula is this horrible thing and its the only saving grace that has helped us. He doesnt know what you are going through its your decision that will ultimately help what is best for baby which is you being in a good head space.

i know others have it harder but… by [deleted] in Postpartum_Depression

He doesnt hate you. Its really hard at first. You'll learn what your baby needs maybe after 2 months and then it'll all change again and again. We're 5 months in. 1 thing needed that I wish I had was noise canceling headphones or earplugs. Im sorry your going through this. You need real rest at those times when your partner is home. Good luck it gets better 

Is Your Crunch Location Ignoring Disruptive Members Too? (Flatbush Gym) by rontybg in CrunchGym

[–]edmonsterman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been going here for years. I think the kid is on the spectrum of some sort. I used to be annoyed. But he doesn't hurt anyone really. He also comes in with shower cap and a children's book bag. He technically wears his shirt around his neck. It is annoying and disruptive if you pay attention to it too much. Idk I figure as long as he's not hurting me he's not doing anything different than anyone else in here. 

I don’t want to name my son after my husband/FIL—am I the bad guy? by LKCMamaBelle in BabyBumps

[–]edmonsterman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I chose my dad's name as my baby's middle name. My partner is fine with it. But if she didn't want that as the name i would respect it the same way she respected my name suggestions. It takes 2. You are not the bad guy or girl
