I need help to relax and I need suggestions.?

Question

I have 4 month old baby, no help from the husband except for the occasional check on the baby while he's sleeping. When he is supposed to take care of the baby, he will interupt whatever I'm doing over and over so that I finally get so po'd I just do whatever he's bothering me about.

Right now I'm living on very limited sleep and I have to decide whether or not I can do fun things or eat/get dressed in clean clothes/shower.

I'm really stressed out and I really need to know how I can wind down with limited time and not being able to go out.

Answer 1

Sounds like you need to talk to your husband about how you're feeling. You obviously need to have some time for yourself or you're going to get sick and I'm sure he wouldn't like that.

Instead of just getting annoyed at him and just doing what he is bothering you about, maybe try to teach him what needs to be done so he can effectively care for your child.

If you can work all that out and get some time away, yoga and meditation is really good for relaxation. Also, deep breathing is important.

Hope everything works out before you burn out.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Can you have a relative come over to help with your baby sometimes?

Tell your husband you are not feeling well because you have not been getting enough sleep.  You are finding it hard to eat, get dressed or shower.  You sound depressed and exhausted.  Your husband needs to face this and help lighten your load.   Please take care of yourself.
