A year after we got married we started trying to have a baby. 18 months later I was pregnant and so excited. My husband seemed excited to. He would talk about the things he wanted to teach our daughter and we talked about how we wanted to parent and how we would do things.

When my daughter was born he was so supportive, nervous I would go through depression after she was born he would ask what I needed, order dinner, hold the baby and come get her if I didn’t hear her wake up at night.

Flash forward 3 months and there is tension where there never was any.

I find myself getting frustrated because he doesn’t wanna play with her or hold her a lot. When she’s crying he just sits her on his lap and that irritates me. When I offer suggestions he gets defensive. He sleeps through the night and never gets up with her.

In the beginning I happily got up with her at night because I’m a stay at home mom and he works but he doesn’t even get her on the weekend.

I’m with her 24/7 so she’s very attached to me so there’s times when she doesn’t want him or find comfort in him and he doesn’t seems to be in a rush to fix that which aggravated me more.

I love my husband so much but feeling like a single parent is putting adding stress I didn’t see coming.
