What makes your partner understand
Show your support
I feel like they never fully understand unless they’re thrown in it but if you compare it to an office job, we don’t get bathroom breaks or lunch breaks, we don’t get to talk to other adults, we don’t get to drink hot coffee, we have to share all food, usually by the time we sit down the kiddo is ready for something else and you have to get back up
I can't leave him with them because he works a lot of the time. He can manage an hour here and there some days atm ☺️ I want to try putting it into words to describe it but maybe he'll never get it. I'm a bad mam if I want a break too so yeah 🙃 x
My husband has never gone longer than an hour by himself and has only once ever taken her out by himself and it was for only 30 min but he understands how hard it can be especially seeing how our toddler never sits still and I’m pregnant. I just explained to my husband a list of things that need done. Maybe if he sees a list of everything you do might help him get it
My husband only began to understand when I was unexpectedly hospitalised for two days and he had to do everything. He handled it well but texted me all the time unsure of what to do and asking if he was doing it correctly, luckily our boy is a very calm easy baby but still. I think it changed a lot the way he reacted towards that
Maybe leave him with the kids for a day and give him a list of things to do so he can see how it’s like for you? What’s not to understand when you communicate this to him? What are his thoughts?
