Hubby nighttime no helo
Okay so... I'm jealous of you ladies that have the husbands who wake up in the middle of the night and just take the initiative to feed your lo. Yes my husband does work 2 days, 2nights 12 hour shifts and 3 days off. This just concerns me because I go back to work in two weeks. My hubby will put him in his sleeper tell me to take a nap. I hear him crying come out of living room and my husband's outside on the porch. Drives me crazy. Im with him alllll the time..like when in home hes always in earshot and i can see him. I will put him in his sling or carseat if im going from room to room.
It's been all me at night since day 4. We are at 5 weeks now. My hubby will tell me to wake him up when i need help but its worthless. Just now asked him to make 2 ounces. I havw2 a whole system with a shower caddy for night feedings i have explained a 1oo times. He got pissed and walked out. He doesn't even wake up when our son is screaming. He feeds him...doesnt burp him..and i get the gassy baby at night. I try and tell him to do this or that with him like try and burp him and he gets mad. I just...was hoping this wasn't going to be all me...but that is what i feel like. Iv told him this and he just got all pissy. At this point the thought of another child makes me cringe hah. I know we need to work on communication. We never fought or argued but now I feel like we bicker at each other 24/7.
What got me was when my husband said "we are doing good with him...it took me a week to adjust to the change. "( he was at work that whole week) only seeing him maybe 4 hours before going to bed.I was like...there was no adjusting for me..i was the one that whole week taking care of him.thrown into the fire so to speak.
Im not saying i hate this experience...i love it and wouldnt change it for the world. I cant imagine my life without my son and hubby ( if i dont smother his snoring face with a pillow haha() just needed to vent...i dont have anyone really to talk to about this.
I know it will get better.
