Hi i need to rant about my husband . I find him very selfish and lazy. Our relationship went downhill so much after having a baby. Firstly it all started on the first night I came home from hospital. The confinement lady told him to get somethings and instead of going out in the day to buy he went out around midnight and took the chance to have supper with his friends and shop at ntuc . I had a c sect so I needed someone to help me up to pump milk and he wasn't around. After that in the first few months he will often sleep until noon even though our baby wakes at 8am. As we sleep with air con on, when I need to bathe the baby I need to move the baby to another room to change her. I tried to endure at first and hope he will change on his own but of course he did not. So I told him my frustrations. I think he did change in terms of waking a bit earlier to help. But he still sleeps late. It is not as if he helps a lot in the day or wakes at night to help me feed baby but yet he still wakes up after me and takes nap as and when during the day. He is permanently sleeping if I allow him to. Once a week I let our baby stay over at his mom's place so that we have some me time. He will arrange many activities during this one day and then I won't have time to do my chores like pack baby's stuffs or wash her things. If he help out maybe it is better but once baby is not around he will go back to his usual sleeping habit. He says he wants me time with me but he wakes up so late everyday and if we go out with friends where is the me time? We didn't even have any intimacy for a long time. Every time I am online searching for deals for diapers and wet wipes he is snoring away. But when it comes to arranging sessions to eat and play with his friends he takes the initiative I am so sick of him!!!

I read your story and every of it feels likes what I went through. My husband even plan gathering at our place when my boy is a newborn. His family came over every other day and sit around for a very long period making noises talking and I couldn't even get a wink in the day. And his extended huge family of 13 families of aunties and uncles all took their turns to visit. Up till my boy is about 1 year plus then he help out with him. He brings him out downstairs to play so that I can have 30mins to myself to cook and clean. And he love to help by lying beside my boy's bed to 'put him to bed's but most of the he put himself to bed first. But this small help is also help to me. Some men are just slow especially those 'royal' only son of the family. Keep talking sense to your husband each time. Don't stress yourself out.
