Februarymy partner won't help
I don't know how to encourage my partner to help me with our baby. our son is 6 weeks old and my partner was brilliant for the first 2weeks,he changned,feed and bathed our baby. now he does nothing and complains when i do pass him the baby and he starts to cry that the baby doesnt like him. he just seems to have lost interest,yet always goes on to people how much he misses him,is that just for show to other people? i cant talk to him because all i get back is that he has been at work,it hurts me to see that hes not interested in his son but i just dont know how to tell him with causing a huge argument.
any one have any advise or going through the same?
hi, sorry to hear about ur partner it is very common for them to say he dont like me because he is crying thats because they sence if they are not comfortable he clearly needs to realise just because he works dnt mean he should nt help my partner works n i make sure he pulls his weight as bein home 24/7 with newbvorn is harder than any job, u should talk to him n tell him u carnt do this on ur own u need support and love as it dnt get any easyer, its nt fair now the novality gone he nt helping out with baby or house wk dnt let it keep building up or it will get worse i did n had huge row best to air things as they happen. sounds as if he will be intrested when the baby older n he can enjoy him.
but that is not how it works try praise him if he has the baby say things like hes gd with him some times they need some confidence building as they r not born with the connection to eachother like we r. men need alot ov confidence buildin and reasurance like having 2 babies but works some times gd luck hope he gets better with the baby n u honestly just talk to him n tell him straight .
i cant belive my eyes i am in the exact possition.. i find it easyer not to expectanythig off them then u wont be dissapointed.. since i have stopped asking and nagging he does it off his own back... dont get me wrong he still doesnt do half of wat he should but its progress. my partner is open with me and admits he does not have the bond i have but he is confident it will come wen she can show affection and is able to let him know wat she wants rather than just crying xx
