[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bottom line, OP, is that if your wife doesn't have "time" to exercise -- between her commute, job and new baby -- she is not adjusting as well to motherhood as you think she is.

I agree with you; this is a problem and it's only going to get worse. It sounds like she is stress eating at this point, perhaps an subconscious attempt to feel better about pressure she is feeling that she is not discussing with you. You sound very vested in the point that your baby is so easy, she bounced back and you all adjusted so well. Maybe not so much for her.

[b]I think you need to have a serious talk with her. Her health and weight is more important than her job. It sounds like her priorities (yours too?) are out of whack. Something has to give when you have a new baby. I wonder if you two are just trying to go forward with your lives as though nothing changed.[/b][/quote]

Oh, please. [b]Nobody has their shit together five months postpartum with their firs[/b]t.  And there's thread after thread about how it's impossible to prioritize everything.  You just have to pick a few things to prioritize and muddle through as best you can for the first couple years.[/quote]

Life wasn't perfect for the first several months as a first time mom, but I certainly had my body back by 5 months and so did most of my friends.  So... some people do get their shit together five months postpartum.[/quote]

Some do and some don't. The point is that OP's wife is not some grotesque freak show. She is a chubby woman who has recently had a baby and is still adjusting. Let's cut the new mom some slack. [/quote]
