Troubles with OH - Page 2

you poor thing, i honestly don't think that the men realise exactly what it takes looking after baby all day, i can sit around quite easily watching tv all day even when my baby was sleeping through becuase i'd still be awake every hour checking on him so i'd still be exhausted during the day. My husband isn't like that in fact he rarely wakes up when the baby cries and he's still sleeping in our room. My husband is out of work at the minute and i'm still the one to do everything it never occurs to him to sterilse the bottles when he's used the last one and he would not have a clue about sorting out a meal for the baby. It's such a full on job and i think they just see it as us being at home doing nothing all day (not helped by the fact that we're all on here so much!!) and that builds some resentment into the relationship from both sides.

Sorry things are feeling so shitty.

Can you get someone to babysit LO and go for a date? I always find things are much better with my OH when we have a bit of time together alone to do non-baby things and relax for a few hours.
I'm amazed how much better I feel after a few hours out of my normal schedule together.
