So here is the back story: I just gave birth to a baby a little over a month ago and despite all this my husband has not changed in any way. He works and I stay at home with the baby.
My husband's attitude is really getting on my nerves. Every time some house work doesn't get done instead of just doing it himself or reminding me he makes a snarky remark. For example, today we woke up late went out and came home around 7 pm. I said before we left that I would work on doing dishes and laundry when we got home. My husband lied down when we got home while I fed the baby and then changed his diaper. Shortly after this my sister who just moved to the same place as us called and let me know she wanted to come over to visit. Then my mother called and if you know anything about moms you know that they love to talk. When I finished talking with her my sister came over with her bf. Then we put together a swing, the baby started crying, I tried to apply online for stay at home jobs ect. (sorry for the long parts) WELL, needless to say I didn't get around to laundry and the baby was crying so I was holding him trying to get him to sleep. It was then after 1 am and ther e was no longer a sheet on our bed. I said to my husband, "Please tell me you are okay with sleeping on the mattress without a sheet." (I was going to feed the baby on the bed and lie him down to go to sleep which usually works when he is fussy) My husband gives me an attitude and says, "Why can't you just start the laundry?" I explain that if the baby is asleep and I pick him up to put on a new sheet, he'll just wake up screaming again and I'll be up late trying to get him back to sleep. He then gets up and slams open the washer. "If I don't do it, it won't get done!" he screams at me when I try to stop him. I tell him that he doesn't need to be an ******* about it and he just ignores me.
He keeps doing this even though I explain to him that most days the baby clings to me just about 24/7. My baby has GERD and breastfeeding is the only thing that calms him down. Sometimes he won't even nap or go to sleep after I feed him and he just starts crying again until I breast feed him or give him a pacifier. Also when my husband comes home he just sits down and plays video games. He doesn't watch the baby so I can get things done and he doesn't try to get things done on his own without some stupid remark. I am grateful that he works, but I worked too when I was pregnant. I also got up at 5 am every day to commute by bus while in my 3rd trimester. The bus stop is not right outside my apartment.
I am at my wits end and he never even gives me enough attention so we can talk things out. He always has his face in his phone or glued to a tv screen. He also keeps trying to get me to have sex with him, but won't spend time with his child. I really need some help..
