You’re carrying the mental and physical load of everything that needs to get done. He doesn't take initiative. And on top of it all, you don't feel appreciated for any of it.
Your vision for postpartum was connection, support, and love.
Instead you're up at 2am wondering if it would all just be easier alone.
It's not your fault. Pinterest and Instagram taught you that being ready meant perfectly folded tiny onesies, labels on everything, and a pretty mural in the nursery.
The good news is, hope is not lost.
You have what it takes to feel cherished, to get help without nagging, and to experience pure joy as a family.
This isn't about adding one more thing to your plate.
It's about doing less. It's about returning home to yourself so you can be the wife and mother you want to be.
