Not on. Not on at all. The sleep catch ups and “nights off” I’ve been offered haven’t just been nice they’ve been needed. I have a lot of help from my mum also. My partner is a night owl but baby sleep is priority - so he’s in the lounge watching the basketball - not fair on you or baby having him game in front of you. At 1:30am too!
Im sorry to hear. You need support and you deserve a break/lie in/trip to the mall for an hour or two just to not to be with your child! You need to breath and its absolutely normal to feel this way. You may need to ask a few questions from your partner . what role he would like to play in this relationship because doesnt sound he takes part in anyways. You cant pay out yourself from responsibilities…
Thanks all, he see his responsibility as paying the bills and ensure that his daughter 16 does he chores. This was my responsibility but he reluctantly took it on very recently. He genuinely doesn’t see that I might need a lie in he says that I can pop to when he’s available at weekends. The thing is if he does it I would never hear the end of it. He says he needs to sleep as his job is more demanding than mine… I also pay most of the rent and I recently found out that he didn’t ever put me on the council tax!!!! So he’s been claiming a single persons one
He has said he’s the prize and that a lot of women would want to be in my position doing all the cooking and cleaning and childcare because he will pay me gifts ( that he wants me to have not that I have picked out) and if I lived alone I would be paying full rent
I’ve tried speaking to me he just zones out
I think it sounds like time to have a serious conversation he needs to step up and be a dad or face the fact you and little one could be leaving him, even then he'll have to do his own coming and cleaning and look after little one of your CO parent so time to grow up in afraid. Really sorry you are going through this and hope you have family or friends who can help you through whatever happens next x
