Need to vent.
My husband and I are first time parents to a 2 month old little boy. My husband works two weeks on and two weeks off and I stay home with our son. Again, my husband isn’t always home. When he is home, our routine gets so screwed up. I try to explain to him that while we aren’t on a schedule at all we do have a routine and it’s important that we stay as close as we can to that routine because otherwise the baby gets soooooo fussy. I’m talking missing naps or not being able to eat when he wants to. So my husband of course wants to talk to and play with the baby when he wakes up at 2 am to eat so he won’t go back to sleep and then when he won’t go back to sleep my husband will go downstairs and sleep on the couch cause he’s tired... then I’ll finally get the baby to sleep around 4 or 5 and we both will sleep till 8 or 9 but my husband had a full night of rest and wants to eat breakfast at 7. So he will text me constantly asking what I want to eat or telling me the food is getting cold... then he thinks that its the perfect time to play video games and yell at the tv 15 minutes after I’ve put the baby down for a nap... then asks me what could be wrong with him or maybe he’s sick cause he won’t take naps... he then wants to make dinner and have it all ready to eat by 7:30, the time we start bedtime... and then gets frustrated when I take the crabby baby upstairs to take a bath before I’ve finished my dinner. All of this causes me to be frustrated with him and the baby and then he asks if it’s good for me to be staying home with him if he makes me this frustrated. 🙄🙄🙄 I love this man with all my heart and I appreciate him so much. He’s literally the best husband and such a good dad. We are both still learning to be parents and he’s really doing great I just have to get after him when he’s being annoying! I just also feel like beating him with a stick!!! Ugh! Lol
