My husband used to love our dog so much, played with her everyday, hugged her until she was tired of him. When she had a surgery he was so worried that he cried in the vet's office.

But since our son was born 5 months ago, he acts indifferent to her. She invites him to play, brings him toys, gets excited when he comes home. He just ignores her. He gives her one 5-10 minutes walk in the evening after I go to sleep with the baby and that's it. I have to remind him to feed her cause he forgets. I tried to talk to him about it but he acts like he doesn't know what I'm talking about.

They used to be best friends and I know priorities change and we have less time, but it's as if all of his affection goes towards the baby and he doesn't care about our dog anymore and it breaks my heart a little.

Our 4 months old son cries constantly, doesn't sleep through the night, doesn't gain weight properly. Feeding issues, reflux, gassy, he has every problem there is. 6-7 hours or crying a day, sometimes he cries hysterically for 2 hours straight. I haven't had more than 2 hours of sleep ever since he was born. My husband helps me but I can't sleep when I hear my baby screaming hysterically for hours at night. We've been to doctors, nothing helps him.

I'm reading that babies with severe colic grow up with higher chance of low IQ and mental health issues. At this point I'm convinced he'll have all those issues cause nothing ever goes well for him.

I feel horrible for bringing him into this world just to suffer. I feel like he'll never be happy. Like I'll never be happy. He shouldn't have been born.

I'm sorry my poor baby, you deserve better.
