How not to hate my boyfriend?
Rant post š¤š©
Our baby is 10 weeks old. Iām trying not to be so strict about things and be a ācool momā but thereās a few things that are ābasicsā for me. Like washing or sanitising my hands before touching him especially if I touched things that other people did too and of course after using the toilet. Iām asking everyone to wash their hands before touching my baby. Now thereās daddy, my boyfriend, and I donāt know if all the men are doing this or just him, but heās constantly touching his penis. Just like a habit or I donāt know... I already told him not to touch the baby after doing this or go and clean his hands first, but I have to remind him all the time and it makes me so angry. I canāt talk to him nicely anymore. And also because I feel like taking care of our baby comes like an instinct to me, if heās crying or uncomfortable I usually know how to calm him and what he needs. My boyfriend doesnāt and is not really trying to figure out, he just lets him cry while laying on the bad scrolling on his phone or laptop.. I feel like I canāt trust him around the baby and heās not listening to me. When I tell him he doesnāt like this or that position, try that way, he doesnāt, heās like āoh he must be hungryā or ā ir he sick, whatās wrongā but heās not stupid, He must know that heās not sick or anything. Heās just lazy to do things āproperlyā. When I go to have a shower and leave them together, my son is screaming so bad. I come in, find them on the bed, my boyfriend is on his phone, babyās crying laying on his back (he hates laying down). He wouldnāt pick him up or put him in the rocker or anything. Mommy will do everything. Nappy changes, bath time, everything.

penis touching then baby touching happened again and I got so mad like why is it so fucking difficult to clean your hands??? Or try and get to know your son as heās yours too so I could maybe wash my hair or clean our room or cook dinner or something.
I feel like after giving birth the love between us just kind of went away or I donāt know. I feel different ad he does too. We are so different. And many problems didnāt come up before having the baby. I donāt know what should I do I just feel so alone in parenthood. He always forgets everything, starts a 100 thing at once but never finishes any of it and I didnāt care before having a baby but now itās just annoying. And Iām so sad and ashamed about feeling this way. What do you ladies think? How do you get on with your partners after having a baby?? Is he helping out?? How?
Am I overreacting it?
