Just need to vent.
So my dd was born 6/8 and is almost 4 months old. Aside from the first two weeks of her life my husband has slept in the guest bedroom to ensure he was able to get a good night sleep because he is "working". Well what the hell do I do all day? Raising a child is hard as hell. She was extremely colicky and cried all the time up until 2 weeks ago. She doesn't sleep much at all at night and I am up every 2 or 3 hours to feed and or change her still. My husband just moved back into our room and sleeps through the night just fine while she cries away and even I sit there crying. Like last night she was up from 12:30am to almost 6am before going back to bed. I don't want my husband in the room. Watching him sleep and not help me just pisses me off so bad. It was better when he was in the other room now i feel like it's getting thrown in my face that his "job" is more important because he makes the money...and I just stay at home. I am exhausted and frustrated and I feel like a single mom. This totally makes my husband sound horrible when he's not I'm just so overwhelmed and tired of doing this alone. If he even wakes up once at night he's miserable all day and I don't want to listen to him bitch about being tired all the time. He gets easily 8 to 10 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night and still says he's tired from work or whatever ... don't get me wrong i know he works hard but I work 23 hours a day if I'm lucky he watches her while I shower at night or make dinner or something ... I do everything .... just wish she would sleep better. And she refuses bottles now making it hard for me to leave even if I could ... sigh just needed to rant before my head exploded. I wouldn't trade my peanut for anything and I know it'll get better eventually... just wish people knew being a stay at home mom isn't all bells and whistles ... I work hard!
