Omg why are they like this? I honestly thought it was just my partner, so this has helped massively seeing this! My partner literally has the baby but sits scrolling on his phone not paying any attention to him then wonders why the baby prefers me and smiles/laughs more with me. At what point did we give birth and then become a parent to both a grown man and a baby? I’m sick of asking for things to be done or telling him where his clean uniform is etc, as if I don’t have a million other things I’m having to think about or do for a literal small human. It’s a wild time. Stay strong mama, I’m hoping once they start moving and talking etc he’ll become more actively involved without being asked😬😬xx
@Charley so glad it’s not just me! my partner is the exact same. He comes in from work has his tea made for him speaks to the baby for a little bit and then takes himself on his xbox upstairs until the baby is asleep. I do literally everything but apparently that’s my fault because i don’t ask for help. He has everything done for him but god forbid i ask him to clean the bathroom or something on the weekend because “he’s been in work all week” like looking after a baby and cleaning the house all week isn’t working
Not to be rude but tell him to grow a pair and do his own bloody washing. I think we have all been there but once you stop doing it and voicing your frustration, it's likely to stop. They need to learn we are a mother to an actual child now, time to grow up and step up!
@Hollie oh 100% agree. He’s got better don’t get me wrong, but he could be a lot more helpful without needing to be asked that’s what is frustrating isn’t it
My partner is the exact same and was the same in the first few weeks. Ive spoken to him multiple times about it and he just says well ask me to do more then. But he’s not grasping that i shouldn’t have to ask and when i do ask i might as well do it myself because it takes him that long to do it.
