In A Moment Of Anger, She Snapped At Her Husband That They Should Really Put Their Newborn Up For Adoption Since He Does Nothing To Help
A 30-year-old woman has a husband the same age as her, and together they welcomed their baby into the world just 6 weeks ago.
Since she has given birth, her husband has pretty much done nothing for their newborn, but her mom did step in to help for a bit.
Her mom lived with them for 2 weeks and helped her out with everything, from cleaning to cooking and all things baby-related.
It took about a week after giving birth for her to feel well enough to do more around their house, but although she and her mom did everything, her husband didn’t lift a finger once.
“He let my mother do all of the cooking while he played with his hobbies,” she explained. “He would take the baby at night but would hold him between him and his armrest of the lazy boy.”
“So not even interacting, and when feeding the baby, he always turns on a show and watches that instead of interacting.”
“He went back to work after those two weeks, and he only helps me about 6 hours a day, and that’s if I can get him to come home.”
The real kicker here is that her husband was the one who desperately desired a child, and he was the one who pushed for her to get pregnant in the first place.
After the baby arrived, though, her husband has been happy to dump everything on her and not help out at all.

She’s done her best in her role as a brand new mom to do what she can for her child, but she’s understandably feeling like she’s drowning in responsibilities.
She spends all night with her baby and all day as well.
The rare times her husband does try to take the baby, he speeds through feeding the baby and putting the baby to bed so he can rush back to his own activities.
Meanwhile, while her husband is speeding through all this, she has to choose between if she wants to do housework, sleep, eat some food, or take a shower.
Yesterday night, her husband came home from work really late and mentioned that he was too exhausted to help her with the baby.
“I told him I would do it, but the next night, he needed to take over all night with bottle feedings ’cause I’m losing my mind,” she said.
“He told me that he couldn’t because it left him too tired for work.”
“So, in a fit of rage, I said, “maybe we should just put the baby up for adoption.”
“He was so mad that he stormed out of the house, and I ended up with no shower, no sleep, and trying to eat between the 2-hour wake-ups that my kid does.”
She really does not want to put her baby up for adoption, and she only said that because she was not in a good place.
Regardless of the circumstances that led to her saying what she did, she’s left wondering if she was in the wrong to snap at her husband.
