Going back to work and husband not understanding
My LO is 14 weeks old, I have been on leave from work since she has been born. I go back at the end of this month and I’m having some anxiety about it. Luckily, I will be able to work from home the first month due to the virus so that makes the transition a little easier. My husbands work schedule also changed so he will actually be home the first week I go back and he would be able to watch the baby while I work from home. We initially had plans for my in-laws and my mother to watch the baby when I went back to work. I told him that first week I go back , do you mind it just being you, me and the baby so I can get adjusted to not being with her every moment during the day and just to help ease the anxiety for the baby and me, He said well I will need someone (meaning his parents) to come over and watch her sometime that week so I can do stuff around the house. I said like what? He said laundry, vacuum, other things that have to get down....I’m thinking in my head I do all those things by myself and watch her everyday so why do you need someone to come over so you can get stuff done? Anyways. I was just asking for one week so I can get adjusted to not being with her all day and not have anyone else over to cause me more anxiety but he freaked out on me.....am I wrong? I’m not sure what set home off , like he can’t watch his kid for one week by himself? I will even be in the same house with him so it’s not like he’s completely alone!? Also I’m pissed at him for being so insensitive to my feelings, going back to work is tough postpartum , I’ve been with my baby everyday since her birth and I asked him to help me for one week to help in this transition and he’s more worried about getting tokenfor himself......ugh!
