I don't need a break...
I hate when my in-laws say, oh we will take him for the night you need a break. And my husband is so quick to say yes! Me on the other hand, I love having my son around. Even if he wakes up once a night or throws a fit when he can't come into the kitchen.
I don't need a break, I just need more from my husband.
I'm a SAHM.
I cook my son breakfast, lunch and dinner.
I sit on the floor and play with him and teach him.
I shower with him (we don't have a bathtub)
I read and sing to him.
I go on walks with him and shopping with him.
I do everything.
And I love it. I NEVER complain about it. He's the light of my life, and I'm due with #2 in 5 weeks.
I don't need a break from him, I just need more from my husband.
He gets home from work, cracks a beer and gets on PlayStation with his friends and co-workers until it's time for dinner. Than after dinner he usually gets back on. All while I'm doing everything with my son.
I get my son to bed and at that point, being 34 weeks pregnant now I usually go lay down in bed. He gets mad because I'm going to bed and he's "just about to get off his games"
I go to sleep in bed, he falls asleep on the couch.
If our son wakes up in the middle of the night I get up and out him back to sleep.
Husband wakes up and goes to work and the cycle repeats. Every day.
I don't need a break. I just need more. 1
