Anyone else finding themselves incredibly resentful and irritated when their husbands wake up refreshed and well rested after you've been up all night with the baby? I'm finding myself ready to smack him in the face when he says "good morning!! Have a great day!" Before leaving for work. Then, he snapchats me a pic of him at lunch with friends having a great time and eating great food... Meanwhile I haven't even had time to eat breakfast, brush my teeth or shower and the LO has been screaming on and off ALL day. I seriously envisioned stabbing my husband, it just sent me into a rage! I know I shouldn't feel this way... But I do. Lack of sleep is affecting my sanity. Anyone else in the same boat?
Re: Resentful of DH?
I think he's also learned to watch what he says. When DS1 was a baby he would always say how tired he was. I would would get annoyed because his sleep was barely affected, while I was up half the night. He would get all defensive and say he was allowed to be tired too. Finally I snapped and told him he wouldn't go up to someone dying of starvation in a third world country and complain that he was hungry because he skipped lunch. I'm the starving person here, you can be tired because your sleep was slightly disturbed, but for the love of god, do not complain about it to the person who got three disjointed hours of sleep last night!
The only time I really resent my SO is when he complains about not going out. I get pissed off on weekends though when he won't wake up and help in the night.
