Gamer baby daddy

I just need to rant. I am 5 weeks pp with my first baby and I am so sick of my bf not helping. He helped at first but now he is back to his usual video games all day. I EBF so that is on me which I have no problem with but he only changes maybe one diaper a week and doesn’t help in any other way. He lets our dog out in the morning and that’s about it. He holds her maybe max 10 minutes but then says he “doesnt wanna hold her all day” and tells me to get her or put her down. He literally just sits on his game all day and it drives me insane. I have talked to him about it but I just feel like I am walking on egg shells bc he is so quick to just get mad and ignore me. He is a very all or nothing type when we argue. For example he would be the type to say “fine I’ll just never play again.” This is nor what I want. I just want help and to actually be able to spend quality time with him. I understand some women think oh your man is in the house and not out cheating you should be thankful etc. but I feel so alone. I’m not an emotional person but I cry almost any few seconds I get alone. We moved out here recently and don’t know anyone so I just feel isolated. I love my baby more than anything and am so thankful for her bc now I don’t feel completely alone as sad as that is. I literally feel like a single parents. Sorry for the long post I just have no one to go to about this.

hey girly you aren't alone I promise you have all right to feel the way you do,if your trying to have a serious convo and all they do is get mad and think your attacking them it's best to just state how you feel and if they don't like it so be it, I completely understand as my bd would hold our son his head falling to the side or he's eating and not paying attention and letting him choke for more than 3 coughs and moved like a damn turtle and it absolutely pissed me off I told him about it and he kept doing it he progressively got worst with the yelling calling me out my name and being dramatic ...I decided if I am going to be put through stress by him while already caring for my baby and going through ppd I'd rather do it alone the toxic environment wasn't good for my baby boy or me ....it was hard being emotional and trying to find myself still is but you can only do what's best for you💕remember mamas your doing your best for your little one you can't force no one to be a parent I had to learn that.

@tasha its so hard bc ik he loves us both but ij dont understand how his game comes before everyone and everything. And he even wants another kid like what.

Where are you? Any mama baby events activities … just to have connection…. Be kind to yourself…. Try not to compare or diminish your feelings … isolation when you have a 👼 can be draining. I feel the same… when my son was born…. First time anyone truly loved me like I loved others. ❤️‍🩹 Again not sure where you are but if it were me… I’d take my babe and do as much as possible …. People say babies don’t remember…. But they’re intuitive & absorb everything around them…, so try to get out / do things that lift your spirits…fresh air / seeing other children… focus on that L❤️VE you have for her….trust from someone who’s had painful losses…. It’s not possible to change anyone else…. They have to want to change. In the mean time …. You need to be around positivity! Changes you make will be the most likely motivation for your bf … if it’s possible if he wants it… but time goes by so fast… cherish every moment… if you’re local I may have connections…. 🙏☮️❤️🥰

My son’s father used to refer to watching him as ‘babysitting’ 🤣 they don’t all have that intuitive ❤️…

it's best you have a deep convo before even considering another child if he's acting like that as a momma it can be draining on us when we feel like we're doing it alone🫶🏾he needs to step up and realize that you need a break to girl your health and baby health is more important than a screen

I feel this!!! It’s so f***king annoying! I’m fed tf up!

I know exactly how you feel… sometimes i dont wanna leave the baby alone knowing that he will be playing the game all day while the toddler will be running… gives me so much guilt to leave the house sometimes😢 absolutely hate those freaking games but he limits them to two a day/night

@Cecilia me too girl fr

@Noelle i feel this. If hes playing and i ask him to hold her he just has her propped up in the boppy and if she cries he just talks to her saying its ok etc doesnt even pick her up like wtf

Ugh, I can relate, unfortunately! 11 weeks pp, and it's getting better. I just focus on my baby he's all I need. I don't bother asking for help anymore.

Seeing all these stories about BDs being gamers makes me relieved that I didn't get knocked up by one. My brother is a gamer, and his wife was bad parents. Kept the apt nasty. Luckily for them, they had family help them. Best of luck, girl you need it
