Rant-

Shelby

Disclaimer- I know 95% of this is my fault.

My son is 6 weeks old, and he is the most frustrating baby I have ever met. Starting from day one, I knew this was going to be a struggle, but damn...

I breastfeed except when I'm out in public, where my son gets a bottle.

That being said, my son:

-comfort nurses

-Refuses to take all nipples except the medela one

-hates pacifiers

-hates sleeping in his bassinet

-HATES being put down, even for 2 seconds so I can pee. He screams, with tears.

-Breaks out of every swaddle I put him in.

-Kicks off every blanket I put on him.

-Hates his rocker.

Honestly, I'm completely frustrated. And my husband doesn't help until I'm so frustrated that I'm ready to scream back at my son (I would never, I just want to). Whenever I ask my husband to hold his son so I can clean up the house a little bit, or take a shower, or call his doctor, two seconds later my son is back in my arms with a "Babe, he's hungry."

And speaking of husbands, mine acts like lifting a finger to do anything around the house is going to kill him. I've tried asking, threatening (in this case, to throw out his clothes if he didn't fold them), just leaving it. But he would be just fine living in a mess, and that's just not me. I mean, we have cats who have fleas, and they've been biting the hell out of me (thankfully not my son). My ankles are swollen from flea bites, and he won't even help me vacuum, wash cats, or spray.

I'm just completely done. 😣 Sorry for ranting.
