Hey Amanda, cut yourself some slack. It sounds like you're trying to do too much, and with a new bub, housework and husbands/ boyfriends have to take a back seat. Firstly, it doesn't matter if your boyfriend works or not, now that there's a baby on the scene, he helps with household chores AND child care, allowing you to step out to the shops or have a coffee with your girlfriend without having bubba in toe. This is very important; without your own time, you could end up with clinical depression. If he's not happy to shape up, then he should go. Secondly, don't expect too much of yourself. You cannot do all the things you were doing pre baby. There's just not enough hours in the day. Just focus on enjoying your baby, and let everything else that is not important go to the wayside (as much as possible). You've got your whole life to keep an immaculate home and spend time with your boyfirend. Make your first priorities your baby and your own well-being.
Take care. xo |
