I want to SCREAM…

I’ve known for 18-months now, that if anything sleep related with our son comes up, I’m on my own. Tonight, I couldn’t get him down. He’d been attached to me off & on for hours, breastfeeding. I just need him to go to sleep so I can have a much-needed break!! At my witt’s end, my husband, trying to “help,” asked, “Will he just sooth himself?” … I felt like lashing out, “No, dumba**!!! He won’t! You take over for ONCE!” Can anyone relate?!

I think what makes me the maddest is that instead of offering to actually help, he said, “Will he just sooth himself?”

Night time parenting is so hard! For some much helpful resources find the beyond sleep training project on Facebook

Most definitely then acts confused to why I always have an attitude with him most of the time , he also states that working is harder than taking care of baby im a SAHM he won’t put money aside to put our daughter in daycare till I start getting money in to also chip in . He’s also just a manager at a restaurant he barely does anything especially no hard labor but yet if taking care of baby is so easy why can’t you contribute to taking care of them ..Men are just slow I blame their mothers as well .

Yes…yes…yes yesssssssssssss. “Why didn’t you ask me?” Why should I have to ask you for help or to do something for your baby?

Ugh. This is so frustrating I'm sorry. My ex husband was like that too. I swear they subconsciously just think so many things are the mom's jobs. Maybe he should be staying in the room with him and giving him a bottle of your breast milk at these times. He is capable of helping. You need time to yourself and it's SO hard at the end of the day when you're worn out mentally and physically and it just isn't letting up. Sorry you're struggling ❤️

I’ve been in the same exact spot. Sometimes I hand the toddler to my husband and say tag you’re it. I’m out. Can’t do it anymore and I walk away. They work it out. He has never put him to sleep but I walk away when I feel myself getting agitated with the baby.

They don’t know anything about what we do. I thought my hubby understood what’s like being a mom. But i realized he’s just the same as other men.
