I GET 3 HOURS OF SLEEP A WEEK TO CARE FOR OUR NEWBORN WHILE MY HUSBAND RELAXES ON THE COUCH — LAST SATURDAY WAS THE LAST STRAW.
So, I just had a baby girl with my husband, and honestly, she's my world. But here's the thing: whenever I ask for help, my husband says, "Let me relax, my paternity leave is so short." Now, our baby won't sleep for more than an hour at a time, and he hasn't watched her ONCE. I'm so sleep-deprived that I'm nodding off while cooking or doing the laundry.
But last Saturday, it just went too far. We had a family gathering to introduce our baby to everyone. It was a lovely day until I literally passed out from exhaustion. When I woke up, my husband wasn't concerned; he was ANNOYED that I'd embarrassed him and made it seem like he wasn't taking care of us! I couldn't even respond. I was so wiped I just went to bed.
The next morning, he ignored me and the baby. Apparently, I didn't care about his feelings because I didn't stay up to talk about it! I was so DONE, but suddenly, the story took the craziest twist. The doorbell rang, and I went to open the door. I saw someone I didn't expect. ⬇️
