[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whoa whoa whoa OP. Holy red flags. Your husband is “making” you pump? Drop it, unless it’s something YOU think is incredibly important (spoiler alert: it’s not). Now I understand why you seem so miserable. I don’t understand why you take care of the baby all day on the weekend too? You need to have a heart to heart with your husband. I work 60 hours a week and I put one of my two kids to bed every damn night and make dinner - I don’t really sleep so I don’t recommend this life - but I don’t push everything off on my husband who works 40 hours because I WANT to spend time w my kids. He is being a baby. Please don’t have any more kids with this man until you have created a more equal balance that works for you because trust me adding a second will be a dumpster fire. It’s a hard adjustment when mom can’t handle it all.[/quote]

OP here. Every time I talk about quitting or supplementing, he throws a fit. He says formula isn’t that healthy and it doesn’t have good ingredients. He will talk about all of the problematic ingredients until I just give in and tell him I will keep pumping.

He’s not always a jerk. He was wonderful before we had our child. He loves our child. He was wonderful while on paternity leave with helping with feedings, naps ( though baby was sleeping without needing to be held until 8 weeks), cooking, etc. Then he decided it was all on my because he works all day. He needs his weekends to rest because he works 50-60 hour weeks. I would be fine with during the week if he helped out on weekends, but he doesn’t. He thinks helping me while he was on paternity leave was enough. [/quote]
