I can't deal with his shit anymore!
A rough summary of my current issues.
I have a newborn and a 1.8 year old. My partner has been diagnosed with osteoarthritis and it's really putting a downer on us all. He is only 32, even the drs said it's uncommon with people at this age 😣
I've tried to be supportive and do extra bits to support him but NO he is becoming extremely lazy now. Seems like he is using it as a excuse!
I've not long had a baby and yet I'm doing all the heavy lifting, washing, baths for children etc literally everything. That may sound normal but I should be resting. Specially with my type of birth I had.
For example: he will leave his clothes on the floor. He will leave his empty drink cans on the table till they build up. (Still doesn't move them). I will ask him to brush toddlers teeth. He always says I'll do it in the morning. Wtf that HAS to be done!!! He doesn't do it in the morning.
I have to do everything and yes I know he is suffering BUT he doesn't help himself. He doesn't call drs, he doesn't do stretches, he don't take painkillers. He is fucking usless right now.
I don't know if I'm expecting too much but fuck me I give my toddler a bath with my newborn on my boob feeding. I do everything and he is just pissing me right off now.
I've spoken to him and we just argue. I hate seeing him like this but he don't help himself. Im bleeding heavy clots because of thee amount of shit I have to carry. Midwife's told me off for doing it but I have no choice.
I feel like I may as well be a single parent. Just needing a rant and some advice.
What can I do?? My mental health is soo bad right now. Postnatal depression is hitting me differently. We are all stressed.
Achieve your health goals from period to parenting.
