[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. Or like…I’ll take the 6yo out to her activities on the weekend and H will stay home to watch the baby. But he doesn’t see the mess, doesn’t clean, doesn’t think to meal plan and order groceries. He’ll instead work on an art project all day. And I get we need creative outlets, but I don’t have time for any right now, and I don’t get why he thinks it’s okay to spend 8 hours painting. [/quote]

I so badly wish I could teleport to your home with my Miele vac, bucket of rags and box of Tide (go clean co shoutout) and have you return to a clean home with laundry folded neat as a pin. I am a terrible cook but I could do a Mrs. Doubtfire style trick ordering takeout and plating it gorgeously. [/quote]

OP. You are so sweet :)

I’ll give an update. I am also the OP of this thread: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1065173.page

Basically, my H has been using his depression as an excuse to not do much. I recently discovered that was a cover for excessive weed use. So basically he was lazy because he was stoned all the time, AND always absent because he was sneaking off to get high. It all came to a head on Friday when I came home early and found him smoking around the baby.

And surprisingly, this has helped my PPD tremendously. I now know the problem isn’t me. It’s not that im not a good enough mom or wife, it’s not that im lazy, it’s not that something is wrong with my productivity or organization skills. It’s all because of him. And knowing I won’t need to clean up after him anymore, bust my ass while I watch him play on his phone, deal with his complaining about how I’m not doing enough - it’s a huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

I did see a doctor and got antidepressants, and I’ve started doing some therapy on my own until I find someone. But already I feel a million times better.

Thanks everyone :)
