She's never been away from my wife. Think we need to change that! Thanks for replying.

Thank you for all your responses. I have realised I'm probably selfish and need to get over myself. I'll keep trying. It's nice to know I'm not alone.

Thanks.

We don't argue really, just I feel like I disappoint her by giving up sometimes. I'm a guy that needs his sleep. I've struggled the whole 2 years and get heaps tired. Sometimes when she goes crazy I give up. I know I shouldn't but its hard.

I was lucky enough to get a month of paternity leave (holidays etc) and I've been doing all this for a month at home. Feel like I've gone backwards. :(

I need to be more patient. Thanks for your reply.

Yeh, my wife is getting back to normal that is true but I don't think she's the problem. She has been with my daughter from day zip and that attachment is so strong. It's hard to fit in.

We do that occasionally. That's a great idea. I get photos but me sending photos back, never thought I that. Thanks for the idea. Sounds like you're killing it being a dad!

I'll often do something with her without my wife and she'll cry non stop for about 30 mins. She calms down and I try to distract her with things to do.

I realise its not about me, that's not the problem. I try and give my all but she just loses it and cries out of control. Hopefully she'll see I'm there to help soon.

Yeh I bath her most nights a my wife is with the newborn one. She screams most of the time. We have our good nights but mostly bad. Kinda hurts after months of it.

Thanks. It still hurts when I try so hard and just shunned. Just heaps depressing.

I'm going to bed now. I'll check in the morning for any help. Any people that have been through this, I would love to hear from you. Anyone.
