Has anyone else been so frustrated that you've ended up saying things you don't even mean and been a bit rough with your child, not hitting them but pushing them away when they've been in your fave crying or screaming, or have shouted or screamed..

How do I explain to my partner that his support is the most important thing during postpartum.

I just had my second baby 2 months ago and my husband and I had started discussing that she was probably our last.
