Seven is wide awake, showing no signs of going to sleep anytime soon, and guess where DF is? In bed, snoring his head off.
I have to wait for someone to be home so I can have a shower, then, I have to feed her, make sure she's asleep BEFORE I hand her over to DF, then, I get out of the shower to find that he is looking stressed and says shes been crying the whole time.
He can't have her for more than 15 minutes before he hands her back, and he gets stressed because if she is quiet when I have her then hand her over to him, she starts playing up, so he hands her back.
I asked him to bath her tonight, but he couldn't, he was too tired from work.
He's changed one nappy since she was born, and never bathed her.
I am up ALL day and most of the night with our daughter and I feel like she is all my responsibility.
More than once he has made the comment that he goes to work all day to provide for our family. yeah, like it was all my idea to have a baby!
I wonder what he thinks I do all day?
Oh I sound so ungreatful. but I am just over this and I know that soon I am going to snap!
Oh, and to top it off, he thinks we should just let her 'cry it out'. Thats ok for some, if they don't have to deal with it, not even contemplating the fact that we decided to try Attachment Parenting and the no cry technique and its working for me.
I had better go, Seven is no longer happy being bounced, so I will have to get up and walk with her. Its hell on your arms and back carrying around a 5.5kg baby all day.
Sorry for the whinge, I had to vent.
