Write a new blog

My mood while writing this blog:
Ok

I absolutely adore my BF, more than words can describe... he is just driving me insane! We don't see eye to eye on a lot of things: immunazitions, breast feeding, co-sleeping, our sex life, and me time. I stay home with Kylen, and I'm also taking online classes (almost done with this semester!) When he gets home from work, he expects the house clean and dinner cooked, something I am happy to do being that he is the one working. But- when he gets home he expects to sit on the couch and watch tv... he doesn't understand that when he gets home, I need a few minutes to myself to unwind from my day. All I ask is that he hang with the baby so I can cook dinner. He bitches, saying when is my break? I guess he doesn't understand that I work all day too... does he think I just sit on my butt all day and eat bon-bons?? Geez!! I finally got fed up of hearing that and told him when Kylen is 18 you can have a break, just like me!!! I love our daughter to peices, but I need a break every one in a while. I'm usually up until 3 or 4 am a couple nights a week doing homework, cause it's impossible to get it done during the day with my lil boobie monsters constant need to be entertained/held. We are leaving on Friday to Hawaii, Kylen's first vacation! I am super excited to be there with my whole family, but he has left all the planning & packing up to me. Not to mention I am an awful flyer... I have been having nightmares for months about flying over the ocean (eek!) Anyways, he says to me the other night that he wants the window seat so he can sleep the whole way back (it's an overnight flight) that pissed me off, not only will I be freaking out the whole way, but now I will be stuck in the middle seat holding the baby the whole time... grrr I just feel like I get zero help from him and I'm afraid I will start resenting him... I don't know what I should do?? Also anyone have good tips for flying with a 5 month old?? :) Thanks for lettin me vent :)

I am so sorry that you are not getting the help that you need. Will he read any research/pamphlets that you give him? You are absolutely right. You need a break when he gets home and should give you some time each night in order to recharge. You need that in order to be a better mother and girlfriend. It takes both of you to parent. What you do all day and your need to feel like a woman, not just a mother is important and valuable. Time to feel like your old self is essential to your sanity. Can he be convinced of this with the right information?
