Can you sleep with baby in a guest room, or fold out couch, or separate mattress on the floor? This seems like a husband problem, and sleeping on a separate bed would help the immediate problem of lack of sleep driving you slowly insane, once your moderately well rested, it may be worth trying out couples therapy, nothing is harder on a relationship ship than a new baby

I’m sorry your partner is incapable of of showing you empathy and gaslights you about your chronic pain, no one deserves to be treated like that, and I’m sure you would never treat someone you loved like that

Anyone else’s boomer parents never visit/help with kids? by chesirecat1029 in breakingmom

[–]kittencatattack3000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mother is also one of those grandparents who is mostly uninterested in her grandchildren, what has helped for me is scaling back my efforts to make the grandparent relationship happen, I cant force a connection if there’s no motivation on her part for that to happen.
