I don’t normally complain, because I have a pretty good life. But here recently, I’m not sure if it’s due to hormones from dropping BC, or what, I’m just so frustrated with my husband. I’m a stay at home mom with a 9 month old beautiful baby girl. My husband works full time with a lot of overtime at a box factory. So I take care of everything at home aside from a lot of the cooking because he’s a better cook lol. I do everything for our little from bathing to playing to feeding etc. my husband does nothing for her aside give her attention when he’s home, and I don’t really ask unless I need him. I even tore a ligament in my spine and I STILL do everything for her because obviously he has to work. He has to put her in the bathtub and take her out because I physically can’t, but I can still bathe her.

My issues are that I’ve been stuck inside the house for 3 weeks because of what happened to my back and yesterday i was finally feeling like I wanted to get out and just go get a milkshake. I’d have been back in literally 10 minutes. So I asked if he would watch the baby while I went. It was around 6:30, right after dinner. He said no cause he was probably gonna go to sleep. I asked if he was serious and he said yes. I never ask for something like this especially since I can usually just take her with me but considering my back is screwed up and she is 22lbs, I didn’t want to go through putting her in her seat and taking her out again. He ended up staying up until sometime after 8 😑. I should have just said too bad and left her with him. I was so cold to him after that.

Not to mention that this past Mother’s Day was my very first and I never even got a happy Mother’s Day. I’m not petty in any way but I just can’t help but feel some type of way. I would like recognition. I would have liked to be able to have a day to myself and go do something, but whatever.

I don’t want to give the wrong impression, he is very good to me and our girl, and I love him very much. He is just so old fashioned when it comes to the roles in a household. Like he doesn’t even know how to change a diaper properly(not sure if it’s he doesn’t know or he’s too lazy to care), and this is his 3rd child! He’s just so used to being the breadwinner and the wife taking care of everything else 🙄.

Like I said, I’m not looking for advice or anything. I just wanted to vent to a bunch of strangers lol.
