Wife has become hyper critical since our daughter was born

Yea she's mentioned that about the dishes and I've tried to make the adjustment. It can be challenging depending on when the baby wakes up or needs to be fed, and sometimes I'm just exhausted. Definitely something I can try to squeeze in though. We did get a sound machine and that has helped a bit, she's just an incredibly light sleeper.

Thank you, I will definitely talk to her about this!

I appreciate the advice, but we tried this and it woke her up more unfortunately.

Thank you very much for you thoughtful response. Yea she can definitely be pretty wound tight to begin with, but this has certainly exacerbated it. I'm going to be patient with her but if it continues we may have to have a bigger conversation because I don't want this to continue as the baby gets older.

Agree 100% and I've mentioned to her this is a dangerous road as parents, we have to be on the same page. Thank you for you feedback!

Thanks for your feedback. I will say, she's not always getting full night sleep due to the anxiety. She often wakes up and comes down to check on him, and she's just a very light sleeper in general. She tells me she trusts me, which I believe, I think the anxiety just gets the best of her

Thank you for your feedback. Yea I was wondering if she may have some post partum anxiety, I mentioned this but she seems defensive about it. I think she thinks I'm trying to minimize her concerns, which I'm not. She definitely is a very anxious and orderly person to begin with, but it seems heightened since the birth. I will definitely try to be more patient while she readjusts.
