I am lucky, my partner totally gets it, he respects me so much for looking after baby all day, he knows how hard it is. He gets back from work and either helps with baby or cooks/cleans - at weekends we do equal amounts or he’ll run me a bath and tell me to have a break, some days I’ll tell him to go play some games and have a break. He does half the night shift and says we’re a TEAM - don’t settle for less there are guys who get it and want to make your life easier whenever they can!
I’m lucky my fiancé does a little bit more but I feel you he says I have it easy too nothing about being a mother is easy they don’t understand the mental strain
@Cass you’re so lucky🥹
Mine is the same way. He works long hours but when he comes home he gets to relax and watch TV or play his video games. I never get a good night sleep because I am no longer allowed to sleep in our bedroom because he says the baby monitor bothers him so I have to sleep on the couch every night. I pretty much am the ones with the kids 99% of the time and still only get a few hours of sleep here and there on the couch but he always complains he never gets alone time or enough sleep.
Men don't understand how dumb they sound when they say things like that. I am consistently shocked by the self-serving, ignorant garbage that comes out of their mouths around this topic and their die-hard support for it in spite of any information/evidence to the contrary. Not knowing is one thing, but really, are you too stupid to learn? 🙄 Guess I needed to vent a bit too, haha
@Cass the problem is that you don't know until it's too late and you have a baby together..
@Jo pretty much. Things were great in my relationship/marriage and then he wanted to bust and didn’t expect me to get pregnant and stay pregnant I guess. He struggled with the baby (now toddler) getting all the attention. I’m burnt out from doing everything all day so no, I don’t have the energy for you either, Sir. 🙄
Exact same as mine! Boils my blood 🫠🙄😬
