DS is 6wks old tomorrow and has yet to be away from me for more than 10min. DH works 12-14hr days 5 days a week. He does not understand that when he is home I need a break too. 

He is off today and at 0445 this morning, I asked him to go get a bottle, he fell back asleep. So I woke him up and asked again....flash-forward 15min and he is sleeping in the chair downstairs with a scalding bottle in the warmer.

So today, I actually put real clothes on, make-up, did my hair. I asked for 2 hrs to go out and do something by myself. He said he has to get things done on our rental property. So, here I am. by myself with the baby. I just want to cry.

 Thanks for letting me vent.

    Im sorry! I Know that must be hard... try to sit him down and explain how you feel and that you just need a little break and hopefully he will get it. Do you have family near by that can maybe relieve you for a little bit?

    Could you explain that it feels like you are on call 24 hours a day?

    I tried to tell him that. He just keeps saying "I can't wait until you go back to work." The other day he said he was tired because he "didn't get more than 5 or 6 hours of sleep." I could have kicked him.

    I didn't fall asleep until 5am today; ds woke up at 820 crying. What does H do? got out of bed to go shave. The biggest fight ever happened after that.

    Going to stay with my parents for a while before I end up on the single parents page.

    Oh wow I am so sorry! It is so emotionally draining to be with your baby 100% of the time. Your husband is being horrible.

     Is there anyone else you could trust to watch your son for a few hours? I see you are staying with your parents for a few days so I am guessing they live close? Do you feel okay leaving him with your mom so you can get out? It really should be your husbands job to take over parenting this early I think but if he isn't willing then you still need to take time for YOU! 

    Does you DH help with the baby ever or does he not want to be alone with your baby or do night feedings?

    stayed at my parent's house for a couple of days and DH is coming around. He realized (I think) what an ass he is being. He even got me flowers for the first time in about 2 years!
