[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She’s tired. He doesn’t care. Scene. [/quote]

She’s exhausting herself and will try no alternative way, which would get her some rest. He is stressed and feels overwhelmed because she refuses his help and advice and offers to directly help in the only way that he can, which is to feed the baby bottles of either pumped milk or formula. Scene.[/quote]

As long as he’s willing to hear “I don’t want to hear about it” for any complaints he has about his day that she’s offered unhelpful advice to. “My boss is an ass” “start your own company!”. Buying a can of formula isn’t helpful to a breastfeeding mother in a family that decided to breastfeed— it’s like telling someone who decided to go to college that they should go to hairdressing school; perfectly good but not what the person is trying to do.  If he wants to open a larger conversation about whether breastfeeding is good for their family, he’s going to have to be willing to hear her talk about her experience.[/quote]
