Has anyone found that they fought a lot with their husband or boyfriend in the few months...?

Question

after bringing baby home?

Answer 1

a little...but we also have a toddler...I think a lot of the time we were just irritable from the lack of sleep and the stress of handling a newborn and toddler.  Things are great now that we have settled into our new lifestyle.  

Answer 2

I did a ton.  We were both working, both sleep deprived and money was tight.  That's a recipe for disaster.

Answer 3

yes i have found ! because i am having a girlfriend

Answer 4

absolutely!  I assume you are going through this too.  It's always reassuring to know that we are not alone.  It's gotten so bad for me that my husband keeps saying he wants a divorce.  Of course this is when he's extremely mad or upset and then he always says he didn't mean it when he calms down.  Our issue is that he doesn't make much time for baby.  In the first few weeks he did but then our son because quite high maintenance with his reflux and lactose intolerance or possible milk allergy.  He doesn't sleep well during the day so he is quite a handful in the evenings.  My hubby says he just doesn't have the patience for it.  He won't feed him anymore or anything.  He barely makes time to even make googly faces at him.  My worry is that he is missing such an important time to bond with our son that when I go back to work next May our little one will not listen to him when they are alone as he will not be used to him.  I don't know if this is normal fights or not. It will be interesting to see what everyone else says:)  In the end I married my husband because I love him and I will do whatever I can to work through it all.

Good luck to you!

Answer 5

It is probably you..Your hormones are out of control and you have to get in a routine . Lack of sleep doesn't help anyone either. Try to remember that its probably you when you are about to freak out. Been there done that 3 girls later.

Answer 6

yes! lol! i think every women goes through it but doesnt want to edmit it! i think its the fact that you are so tired and overwhelmed with everything that you take it out on the person that is closest to you! good luck and congrads!

Answer 10

yes! totally normal. its a big adjustment and new responsibility for both of u! plus, your probably tired!

Answer 11

Oh yes!

He had trouble getting used to being a Daddy. He just felt left out I think because I breastfed my son and he didn't have much to do. I would get angry because I would be the only one up all night with the baby.

We mostly fought because he wasn't around alot at first. He would work overtime more often.

He adjusted though and they are best friends now.  

Answer 12

It's natural for that to happen.  Under all the stress, and lack of sleep, most people get testy and believe that the other person isn't doing there part in taking care of there newborn child.  It all gets better.

Answer 13

I was in a bad mood for about 6 months because of hormones, insecurities, and I hated the job I had at that time. He got over it. You can always (at least for now) blame it on hormones.
