Any Advice?
So my husband and I have been married for a little over a year and a half now and we have a 5 month old baby! We both work in the restaurant industry (so lots of hours) but since having our son, I have cut back on hours and only work about 25-30 a week so that we don’t have to pay a sitter -my parents watch him while I work.
Anyways I do basically all the housework; laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping, taking care of our son, and our 3 dogs, etc. on top of still working part time. But the last few months I’ve been feeling wore out a bit. I feel like I do a lot and feel unappreciated. I know it’s my “job” as the mother and wife to take care of household cores, but it’d be nice for some help every once in awhile...? Maybe it’s not even that, but that I don’t feel my needs are being met... but yet he’s always asking for sexual favors and gets upset that I don’t want to do them for him. But I don’t feel how I use to, I use to want to and never complained but now I don’t feel happy or emotionally connected anymore. I know a lot of it has to do with the change of having a baby, but I don’t know how we are suppose to get back to “normal” now?
Please any advice from anyone who went through a time like this, how did you figure out how to “fix” it?
