I’m so angry

I’m a month postpartum, I have a 6 year old, 5 week old baby and a 1 year old. Ever since I delivered my baby I’ve been doing everything for her and everyone else when I got home from the hospital I didn’t get no rest I was up and down doing things my husband only gave me two days off because everyone was telling him to let me rest… he mainly puts his all for our 1 year old he says he will take over him as in take care of him basically deal with him and at times I do need help with our 5 week old baby, at times it’s sooo hard for me to even calm her down, all the sleepless nights I have because she wants to be awake at 4am I don’t breastfeed so it should be easy for my husband to help me, I ask him to change the baby diaper and 15 mins later I ask if he can make her a bottle and he tells me “you want me to do that for you too?” When he makes little comments like that or I see my situation It makes me regret alot of things, a lot of things I think about

I don’t have any advice or answers to give for this situation but I would like to say I am sorry you are going through that. I can’t imagine how hard that would be. You are not asking for too much and you deserve help.

I'm so sorry your husband is being useless and putting it all on you. He definitely should be parenting more.... it's not doing things for you it's doing his parental responsibilities

No reason to be angry. Having a one year old and now a newborn was not going to be an easy task . Maybe your husband is having a hard time adjusting to a new child but can't seem to express that men suck at communication. Try to be level and express to him that you are feeling burnt out and you really need him to step it up to help you out. Hope you can get some much needed rest soon

Sooooo sad your going thru that I can’t imagine being so vulnerable and my husband treating me like crap I would be so hurt 😭

I can understand where you are coming from. I went through the same thing, however, I was tired of being angry all the time and I am sure my baby felt my energy and reacted to it. So instead of continuing to be angry, I decided to sit down and have a conversation with him, expressing how I felt and the toll it was taking on me. That helped a lot. He was more helpful at night but I had to wake him up to help and he would. Hang in there and I would say, have that talk with him. But try not to blame him for everything, having two young children is hard work. Work as a team. Good luck momma.

Don't have any more kids with him. If he doesn't want to help use his money and hire help if you can. They aren't just your kids.
