Can fully relate to this as well. My partner is always on his phone when he's looking after her and she's starting to get really aware of it I think. Whenever I leave the room or hand her over she starts to cry and wants me back which is starting to bother him but when I explain it's because he doesn't engage with her, I'm the one in the wrong.
Tbh if I were you Iâd look for a day to go out somewhere alone. If youâre not there his instincts will kick in and heâll have to get things done (the house may be a mess - but baby will be sorted). This shouldnât be on you alone - it sounds like youâve just become the default parent and he is relying on you to carry the mental load.
Wow! Could of wrote this myself! X
Must be a man thing bevause it literally looks like i wrote this post. Dont even get me started on night feeding! X
@Lauren oh donât, LO was formula fed so we could share the load⌠well that didnât happen. Thank god right now he doesnât usually have a night feed because I was about to commit murder x
Tbf men are very much straight to the point people. I kinda had this but then a build up of hormones made me absolutely snap one day because I was sick of washing bottles alllll the time đ and I just laid it all out on the table - now he is honestly so helpful even with him working long hours to support us (I do work too but he's the main earner and I do appreciate it). But maybe just a big conversation and stop doing his washing only will make him see Good luck mama xo
