Angry with husband! Who else feels the same?
My baby girl is nearly 5 months now.. I moved halfway from my home for my husband. At the moment we are living with his parents & and grandparent. I'm going out of my wits here people! I'm always alone with my baby & and the grandparent who isn't all there .. And is like looking after a 3 year old who won't listen. I'm in able to drive cause we moved to a different country. So I no choice but to stay put. But my husband gets home from work and feels like doing nothing but his own shit everyday, Xbox, virtual reality, fishing videos, Facebook... etc.
I rarely ask for anything anymore. Since we have arrived he's gone fishing and dinner outings. Sometimes when he gets home I just want some me time. And he doesn't want to entertain our little one much, instead he's rather pass her on to his mother. While I'm alone at the house his unwell grandparent keeps trying to pick up my daughter when she knowingly can't and has been told not too. She's always following me around and keeping an eye on me trying to see if she can get to my daughter. If I leave her strapped in her swing she still tries to pick her up. She doesn't have the strength. She even has trouble carrying a carton of milk. I feel bad for the old woman and I've had sympathy but now I'm just fed up. It's been two months of the same shit. I just want to be able to let my daughter play with her toys or have tummy time and not feel eyes on me or feel stressed out all the time because of this lady. My husband knows how I feel. Everyone complains to his mother about her mother but she can't bother listening to the same thing over again. And on top of it my daughter is going through the sleep regression stage and I've been the only one dealing with it. I've fallen with a nasty cold at the moment I guess due to lack of sleep, and I asked my husband if he can just have our daughter sleep next to him tonight and wake me up to feed her. I understand he's working but I need some kind of sleep to be able to cope and be alert for our little girl tomorrow.. But nope he told me that he needs his sleep for work. He doesn't try or even show initiative to help me a little bit. I'm feeling so close to booking my tickets back home and tell him it isn't working out. We've talked several times that I need a little more from and he says "ok I'll step up" but nothing has changed.
I'm a angry/frustrated/TIRED mommy. Any ideas how I can turn this thing around? I don't want to give up on our marriage so easily.
