Relationship postpartum
Hi everyone. I’m currently 6 weeks postpartum and I’ve never been more happier then when I’m with my baby, but the problem I’m facing is my significant other. You see currently I’m on maternity leave for another 6 weeks, so he’s been working a part time job since I am getting paid but only about 60% of my pay, but when the baby is screaming at 3 am because I can’t get her settled I usually will be like “hey can you hold her for a second while I readjust, make a bottle, grab diapers/wipes” that way she’s not laying there screaming her head off and getting super upset while I prepare for what she needs. Usually he will groan and either be like “mmhm” and then go back to sleep or sometimes he will wake up and act all mad about me waking him up for help. And he says quote “I’m working now so I need sleep” but where does that leave me? Getting no sleep at all? How is that fair? I know this may sound like I’m just jealous of all the sleep he gets but mainly it’s just annoying when he gets 8 hours of sleep while I’m running on maybe 3 hours and he still complains how he’s tired. Your tired? How do you think I feel? And usually when I say that it starts an argument. He didn’t used to be this way before we had the baby, so I don’t know whether or not this is temporary or not. I just don’t know what to do anymore.
