A woman is fuming with her husband as he always storms off when their baby cries, leaving her to do all the work with their newborn. Normally if the two-week-old starts crying in his arms he loses his temper quickly, hands the baby back to the mother and storms off to play video games and the mum is starting to get tired of his frustration.
The new mum is also left to do all of the night feedings and early rises with the baby as her husband complains too much about needing to be ready for work after a restful night sleep.
The woman took to Reddit to explain their rocky start to parenthood, as the husband has even resorted to asking the mum whether she misses her life before the baby came along.
In the post, the woman, who remained anonymous, explained: "She is really fussy and cries pretty much all the time. My husband took the first week off work but is back to work now.
"He can't handle it when the baby cries. After work, he will hold her for a minute or two, and then get so frustrated with her crying that he'll hand her back to me and storm off.
"Usually he just goes upstairs and plays video games but today he actually left the house and wouldn't tell me where he went."
She went onto explain that he makes comments and even asked the mum if she missed her life before their daughter came into the world.
"It makes me feel like he is regretting having her. I am so scared for what this means for our relationship," she explained.
This is causing a strain on their relationship as the mum does not feel comfortable leaving her husband to care for the baby alone at any point.
She stated: "I can handle a crying baby, but a crying baby and an angry husband who has an insanely short fuse is too much. Please someone tell me this is going to get easier."
In response, many have been quick to show support for the mum and offer their advice.
On person wrote: "Been there mama! Feel for you. Give yourself and your husband grace!! This time is tough for everyone."
While another penned: "It will be fine trust the process it gets better as they grow is it a precious time it’s new and it will be ok."
