Rant.

So recently my SO and I got into a small tiff over how I’d like alone time occasionally but without him asking me a million questions about our son. He’s 2 I’ve stayed home with him since he was born while my SO works out of state for 2 weeks at a time home for 3 days. So my SO struggles to understand his cues and understanding his words- which causes our son to get frustrated and throw fits. So even for me to shower and get ready for the day I’ll get at MINIMUM 15 texts asking what he needs- Does he need to eat? Do I feed him? What do I feed him? Do I need to change his diaper?

If he’s asking if he needs to eat cool I get that just asking if I’ve done it or not but if I say yes he needs to eat why wouldn’t you feed him and why can you not look in the cabinet, fridge or freezer and find him food??? Why can’t you check his diaper to see if it needs changed for yourself?? Why can’t he just do these things?

However this morning is what made me super irritated... my SO was up so when our son woke up he got him and took him downstairs to play- which trust me being 31 weeks pregnant and up last night throwing up I appreciated being able to sleep in. However our son has been sick since about Tuesday so I’ve been giving him Tylenol/Motrin and cough medicine. So when I got up this morning I noticed he was coughing and being SUPER clingy like the minute I woke up. I asked SO if he had given him his medicine and he said well no I didn’t know how much to give him and I didn’t want to give him the wrong amount so I figured it could wait until you woke up... so I asked well when did he get up? 630... (I got up at 930 so that’s 3 hours- on top of whenever it wore off over night...) I looked at him sitting on the couch and over to the counter where the medicine was and it hadn’t even been touch. He never even tried. So I looked at him and said you realize if you pick the bottle up off the counter and look it tells you how much to give him and all the droppers are right next to the bottles clean... but you’re right I’ll do it.

Like how is it he gets SOOOOOO offended and pissed off when I barely suggest he’d struggle to take care of our son for like 2 hours without blowing up my phone but I can’t even shower or sleep without him needing me to do everything for him. I know this whole thing I probably sound like a brat but shoot I really would just like to have some alone time before we have another baby...
