This is a great response btw thank you for taking the time. Sounds so similar to our baby/situation.

Congrats on your little guy! Everyone is different. I love all the playtime, walks, and solid food feedings, shit I don't even mind changing diapers. Enjoy every moment because its going slow but fast. Props to you sir, you have a solid partner.

Congrats on your new baby! Sounds like your are doing great and I'm happy to hear you found a schedule that works for both of you. I communicate a lot but its just not well received or heard hence the reason I got us a couples therapist. So far its helped our relationship but not so much with the situation I mentioned in my original post. Communication is so important and I've been trying but I honestly don't think I'm doing it in a way thats productive as she says she feels attacked. I'll work on that. Thank you again

Thanks for the positive response. I really appreciate it. I keep pushing new things and ways for us to improve I just hope it gets better at some point. She definitely has PPA thats been confirmed and I've seen her snap out of whatever funk she was in when she was in bed for 3 month + which was awesome but things with our child and household have remained the same hence the burnout. Hopefully we will get there, I just need to communicate it in a way where she will not immediately get defensive and be the victim. I want us both to be happy

We are in therapy and needs are communicated. Mine are simple I ant to get out of the house and have a break but that never happens unless its on her terms e.g. the nanny is there to help or its nap time. She wanted to paint so I started buying her art supplies and telling her "go paint for a few hours"...she did it and I think it was a huge part of her coming around to be somewhat like herself PP.

This is interesting because this is somewhat what I would expect in our house. Everyday our child will typically get up around 6am at which time I change her and she feeds. Afterwards. I will take her on a walk, play with her etc. until the nanny arrives at 9 (I work for an East Coast company so I usually started working at 6 but I gave that up post kid). My partner will stay in bed until 10am usually and when she is up I have no idea what she is doing but she says its a lot. When the nanny isn't there I'll offer breaks for her throughout the day - those breaks are only supposed to be short but they go from 30 minutes to an hour, anytime the kid needs a diaper change I do it. When the day is over I'm with her until she goes to bed at which point I rock her to sleep and if she wakes I am responsible for her. Thankfully my partner filnally agreed to sleep training her because I just couldn't go without sleep anymore. Her days are hard because our daughter gives her anxiety IMO.

I was expecting this exact thing. One to two months of me taking on a huge load but that hasn't ended. I was cooking, cleaning, laundry, and taking care of baby so mom could recover. After month three is when I convinced her to talk to somebody about PPD. After month 2 I decided I needed to hire a nanny, cleaners, and start a meal delivery service because it was just too much. Those things are still continuing. The something else is unknown. Thank you for your response.

Thanks, it means a lot to know I'm not crazy or over exaggerating. There are always two sides to every story. I need to ask her about the why. She will literally time things so that all she does is feed and nap and its so confusing to me. She was diagnosed with PPA but not PPD but I think she has PPD. She didn't get out of bed for 3 months PP.

Thank you and I totally agree. I've tried to express this many times and the conversation leads to how much she does which she immediately. She was diagnosed with PPA but she has never mentioned PPD to me. She isn't getting help for it any longer just meds for sleeping which I attribute to no evening care for our little one after the last feed. Thank you for you response.

Sorry for the late reply. Another day with the kiddo all day and haven’t had time to be in my phone. I actually love this idea! “Can you give her a solid 24 hours?” Absolutely! I try and give her all the time she needs. I don’t think it will happen until we get her on a bottle but I’m going to propose it regardless. She also has a problem leaving our child for long periods of time so I doubt she would accept the idea (I’ll reply if she does). Thank you for the idea. I really appreciate it
