S/O & OUR Child

S/O and I decided to have a child together.

We’re lesbians, so it was through AI.

I was the one to get pregnant and give birth.

Our son’s almost 16 months, yet my S/O doesn’t feel a connection with him.

Since my son was exclusively breastfed from birth until he was ready for solids / needed solids for nutrition (1 year old), he is more attached to me than he is to her.

When she reaches to pick him up, he screams and she gets frustrated with him so she gives up.

Me: “Don’t just give up, BOND with him.”

Her: “ I see him everyday!”

Me: “Seeing him is NOT bonding with him!”

Her: “He doesn’t like me!”

Me: “BECAUSE YOU AREN’T BONDING WITH HIM.”

Her: “MAYBE if we have another kid, A DAUGHTER, maybe she’ll love me.”

Me: “Gender has nothing to do with it 🙄.”

God, before we even THINK about having another kid, she needs to take some responsibility in raising the one we already have. I’ve been encouraging that she plays and bonds and do stuff for and with him DAILY, it’s her who chose not to...

Thank you for letting me vent.
