[quote=Anonymous]Agree that many decent men turn into a$$holes once kids enter the picture. Men overall seem to have difficulty multitasking the way women do. I also think many men still expect to be "taken care of" by their wives, the way their mothers took care of them. So when children enter the picture, the men feel more helpless and less cared for. So they lash out. I bet OP's husband had a mother who did everything for him, and an uninvolved father. He can't help himself.

OP - encourage your husband to break the cycle. He's being a really mean and unempathetic ass to be giving you digs about breastfeeding, and making passive aggressive comments about prepping dinner, when you're 2 weeks postpartum AND getting over complications from postpartum hypertension.

Given the hypertension, I'm really surprised he's not sharing more of the load. You need to get better for yourself and your babies. Can you hire a nurse to come in and help with baby? Or even a mothers helper to assist with dinner?

I would tell DH that he needs to help hire additional help if he expects you to take care of yourself, a newborn, run the house, breastfeed, all while trying to recover from a very serious medical complication (hypertension). You're DH needs to take pressure OFF you. Not add to it! [/quote]
