Is this a type of PPD or straight laziness?

I totally let the house go & I get so upset over it but I never clean it! DS is sleeping as we speak & hear I am..bumping! Then when DH who worked all day gets home & I complain to him how WE have to clean the house..Messes always bothered me but I always kept on top of it..I just don't have it in me & I don't know what's wrong.

We also made an "arrangement" that if I was SAHM I would start cooking more since DH is the main cook in the house..I haven't stuck to that either..

 

MUST snap out of it!!

    I certainly don't think putting housekeeping on the backburner qualifies as PPD, but if you're feeling hopeless or indifferent toward life in general, that might be a different story.

    I'm similar to you. Always wanted a neat/clean house and have really just now started getting back on that train. Our house is gross. Messy and some parts of it are dirtier than I'd like.

    When you're a parent you have a lot less time to think/care about the house, whether you work outside the home or not.

    This is where I don't see the difference between PPD and stress and fatigue caused by caring for a newborn.

    I was the same way for 80% of the time I was on leave.  I feel a little better these days.

    I think you need to cut yourself some slack.  Your main objective is to care for your baby and for now, everything else will have to fall by the way side.

    I probably wouldnt classify as PPD.  Its hard to become a SAHM when you are used to sharing the household duties and they are suddenly all yours, plus you have a baby to care for 24.7.  I am in a similar situation. I was anal about cleaning, shopping, bills etc before. Now I am a total slacker and I am a SAHM and my son STTN.  I am probably the worst SAHM there is in that I have a messy house and dont cook nearly as much as I did pre baby.  I do have mild PPD though so nothing is really fun. Everything is just kinda blah.  Is everything blah for you?
