Feeling so angry...

[lizylou]

Hi ladies
Sorry about this angry vent but I feel so mad with my OH and I feel guilty at the same time for doing so
My OH had a cold 2 weeks ago which he ended up passing on to our 10 week old so for the best part of a week I not only had my OH moaning that he had a sore throat and coughing all night disturbing LO but I had my LO snuffling and crying and upset with his cold
Just as I thought we got through it a week on OH now feels sick and has a upset stomach hence leaving me to sort little one Again!
I know of he has a bug then it's best he doesn't have contact with LO too much but I have had a tough day with LO and I fully BF him so that takes its toll on me at night too
Gone are the days when OH would change his nappy during night feeds to help me out
I just feel like I'm doing everything... I know he has to go to work but he complains all the time that he is tired and I feel like ripping his head off at times for it exp when he has slept through the entire night before say 7 or 8 hours.... Love to know what that feels like!!!
Not only do I look after LO all day I have to do all house work... Everything
Am I being really silly here? : (
I just feel like I'm starting to resent him at times and that's not good i know : ( x

I understand how you feel, my DH is amazing usually but he has been sick recently and not been able to do anything, whereas I have a bad cough and cold and can't get any sleep cos of coughing but still get on with it. Then DH comes home and complains he's tired ALL the time, it's really frustrating.

Try not up let it get you down and take prude in the fact that you are doing everything and LO will know its mummy there all the time and will be taking comfort in that.

As soon as your OH is feeling better, take a back seat on the weekend, except feeds of course, as you've jolly week earned it!!
Xx

*sleeping well at all, I have had a month if rubbish nights. Hubby has a massive presentation in Friday which is taking all of his attention. The little time and emotional space he has he spends with C and I understand that. Usually DH is brilliant but for the past week he has been in the spare room to get some proper sleep. Last night C was up from 2am-4am, hubby would normally help but I felt so alone helpless and I was getting really upset .

To top it all off DH keeps on talking about how exhausted and stressed he is.... He should try pacifying a screaming, teething, 4month old in the midst of a developmental leap at 3 am!!

When your OH is better hand him LO and some nappies. You look after yourself Hun xx
