If you are married or in a relationship, I think it’s time to have a serious conversation with your partner about expectations. I didn’t have to ask for any of this after giving birth. My husband took care of me, baby, our dogs, and the house. Be direct and honest about what needs to be done around the house and with baby and how you are expecting your partner to pick up way more responsibility. I hope they listen and you get some much needed help!
What a new mom wants/needs...
To go to the bathroom in peace.
A shower.
A meal she didn’t have to cook.
A clean house.
To eat a meal in peace (not while breastfeeding or having a toddler crawl in her).
Words of affirmation and reassurance.
Space to feel emotional.
A nap.
A snack.
Someone else to change a diaper.
A compliment.
A break in general.
Grace.
...and to not have to ask for it. It’s hard enough to admit you need these things, let alone have to ask for them point blank.
