Oh the silence

in Babies on the Brain

Not from the babies.  They're making their presence known. 

From DH.  I told him last night that I felt like a single parent.  He turned that around into a pity party for him, which I didn't buy and we haven't really talked since.  

Why can't he just realize that yes, I understand you have to go to work and wake up early.  But, that doesn't mean I should be the only person with parenting responsibilities.

    sounds like it's a BOTB DH smackdown day. Hope he pulls his head out of his @ss and finds ways to contribute :(

    Oh how many times I wanted to say that... I can't imagine feeling that way with double the work.

    DH and I had a conversation about this last week.  Since we talked things are better.  I think for us (women) taking care of a baby come more natural.  It is a bigger adjustment for them.  I am just trying to be patient, but I am also letting him know exactly what I need help with.

    I have settled for take care of yourself and don't ask me for anything, unless you have to.  Make sure I have something to eat and drink.  Hold the baby so I can shower. I have recently added stop waking me up when I'm sleeping to see if I need anything.

    I have said I feel like a single parent many times.  I cannot imagine this x2.  Leaving him alone with baby since I have gone back to work (since March 28th) has been the ONLY thing to make him realize what 'work' I do all day and night.

    They don't get the sleep thing do they? If you wake me up I cannot go back to sleep. If I fall asleep on the couch do not wake me up to go to bed because I won't fall back to sleep anytime soon.  

    I hope all the BOTB H's get with the program. Grrr.

    Shiit. Going to work is easier than taking care of one baby, let alone two. That's a crock of shiit.  Sorry he's being a douche.

    Edit for spelling.

    Definitely.  DH kept referring to my maternity leave as "vacation."  He works overnights, so I have the baby all night. One day after he told me he plans for the day, which did NOT include helping me with the baby, I lost it.  We had a talk and it's been better since then,  but I don't truly think he got how exhausting it can be.
