[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some specific examples would help.[/quote]He likes to put things together so I asked him to get a baby gate. We ordered online and the gate seemed to be brand new, but after he counted the screws it was clear that some of them were missing making it impossible to assemble. He became really upset and I told him it's totally fine. There are only two options. We contact customer service for a replacement or we go to the hardware store and see if they have the parts we need. He was so frustrated that he didn't want to listen. I'm saddened that he's so overwhelmed by parenting he can't problem solve any situation and I carry the whole mental load.[/quote]

He was making a big deal over nothing. You are making it a BIGGER deal over nothing. Get off DCUM and go take care of your baby.[/quote]

+1000. I was expecting something totally different like getting upset at the baby for crying, having to get up during the night, not getting to sleep in on the weekend, complaining about not being able to hang out with the boys. Your husband has a  moment of frustration and loses it over something silly as we all do, and suddenly he's the terrible and disappointing father. WTF?[/quote]He does get easily frustrated with the baby for not sleeping or for crying when literally everything has been optimized. I feel his pain. We have a tough kid. I've been around a lot of children and I know our baby is simply harder than others. I take all the night wake ups and do all the diaper changes even if he's home.[/quote]
