H decimal point,
My gal also used to sleep thru the night till late morn. But recently, she will wake up at 3am for 4am for milk. I've already increased her brown rice & milk to 6oz, but it seems to b not enough. Somemore, she used to poo once or twice a day. But now, she poos after every feeding, incl in the middle of the night. But I'm too tired to wake up & change her.
Hi z-lia, PM,
I think we mummies shouldn't act as though we're very capable in handling our bbs (even though we are..hee..hee...) Cos men will always take advantage of tat. If our hubby sees that we can manage our bb, hsework & work well, they see no reason y they should sacrifice their usual lifestyle & help out.
I still remembered when the 1st few mth after I gave birth, I couldn't cope & had depression. My hubby was very worried & rushed to helped me out on everything. Now that I'm more settled, he started to change & leave everything to me while he go out to enjoy & play MJ.
So after screaming at him & walking out of hse yesterday, he quietly care for bb alone & settle all the hsework. Haa..haaa...last night, he even had maggie mee for dinner. I told him now he understand what I've been going thru everyday cos when bb fuss, I can't even have a proper meal.
Then tis morn, he brought us out to Upper Pierce Reservior to see monkeys & have brunch. Cos he has to book in to camp tonight for reservist.
So I guess it all boils down to communication & a little 'play-acting' on our part. Anything just to get our man's butt off the sofa & start helping us out.
Hi PM,
I feel so sad for u. Last night, I also 'cried' in front of my hubby & told him I can't cope wif bb alone without help. Then he started treating me better.
Did ur hubby console u when he saw u cried? Mayb ur hubby also feel obligated to agree? Tat's y suggested having the trial period so that if u rejected finally, they've got nothing else to say?
Well, since u've already agreed to a 1-wk trial, then no choice, have to go thru it lor.
Just endure the 1 wk trial, and REMEMBER TO ACT AS THOUGH U BUAY TAHAN & REALLY CANNOT COPE, esp. in front of ur hubby & MIL. As exaggerated as possible. Also, start complaining to ur hubby everyday until he also buay tahan. Must make him feel that he's also suffering instead of just u alone. U know lah, most men r selfish. Once they feel that it's too much for them to handle, they'll soon give up.
(Hee..hee...hope ur hubby dun scold me tat I teach u bad things..)
