[quote=Anonymous]Since the birth of our first child, my husband has had the hardest time coping with the sacrifices of parenthood. No matter how much I try to offload the stress of parenting, the little that he has to do upsets him. He has a hard time adapting to the daily challenges of our new life. I feel unappreciated and a bit resentful because I can't enjoy parenting with a partner who doesn't pull his weight. If I had someone do all the difficult monotonous tasks of parenting and I just got to be the fun parent I'd be thrilled. I told DH that it's ok if he regrets becoming a parent. Our child was planned, but sometimes you don't know that something isn't for you until you try it. I have even supported him in getting a vasectomy though I want more children because I just want him to be happy. He says he doesn't know what he wants and he apologized for his behavior, but he doesn't do anything to change. Has anyone been in this situation? Any men with insight on what's going and how I can help? I love him, but I'm so exhausted from trying to pull him through parenthood.[/quote]
