[quote=Anonymous]At 4 months DH and I were both so exhausted and ready for a break as the newborn stage was winding down. DH had some similar issues (I can really relate to the "get back to Twitter thing", there were so many times when I just wanted to throw his phone out the window), and things got better as DS started to be a little less needy. Once he started to consistently go to bed at 7pm things got a lot better - we finally were able to eat dinner and talk about our days and something other than the baby and hang out together at night. Things got a lot lot better when DS started to be more interactive - babbling, trying to crawl, pulling up to stand, etc. - DH loved actively playing with him. We also both give each other "time off" every couple weeks now that DS is easier - sometimes it's happy hour/dinner with a friend after work, sometimes it's taking DS out for a few hours on a weekend afternoon so the other one can just sit on the couch and watch tv. I think you probably hit the nail on the head that he has some selfish tendencies and parenthood has been a bit shocking - as annoying as it is when you feel like you're bearing the brunt of the work, I think he will probably get a lot better in a few months. Hang in there! [/quote]
