Need to vent!
So since I met my husband he’s been huge into video games like played for 4-6 hours a day. I didn’t mind before we had a baby but since my baby was born I told him he couldn’t be doing that every day- he fought me on this saying that’s how he decompresses relaxes ect. Then he continued to do it we got into so many fights about it I feel it’s not fair I’m with a newborn baby alone and he can go play/checkout for hours at a time. He is not doing it every day now but still for hours at a time most days, then stated in a fight that I’m controlling because I asked him to slow down in the first place. To be fair he says I should do things for myself too and he’ll watch the baby to make is even and fair but I’m still just sooo irritated every time he gets on. Idk what to do

@Kelsey yes that’s so true! I think part of it is I don’t have a lot of hobbies and finding things for myself after my daughter has been so tough. Thank you
I had so many hobbies before baby and this last year I've felt lost in the wind if it didn't have to do with her. It's only been the last couple months I've started to find/refind hobbies for myself

I'm learning that finding the balance is hard. We are still working on that here and she's 13 months old. He has gotten better about having designated gaming nights that we both agree on and saving any unplanned for after baby is in bed. And I’m getting better about asking for and taking time for myself and having him take the baby and respect my time like I do his. It's not easy finding the balance but it's possible. It might also never be perfect or exactly how you want it, but compromise is apart of sharing your life with someone right?
