oh god hun sound like your having a real bad time, i had my first child at 18 and know how it feels to be a young mum, my ex was like your bloke he would moan that the washing wasnt dont his dinner wasnt ready etc i had a full time job too!!! in the end i had to talk to him yes it leads to u shouting but that what he needs. have you and your fella had an evening out since you had the baby maybe you should try that, because once you become parents your life become routine your only young ask a family member to babysit and tell liam your going out with him or with ure mates.

Hi, I know exactly how you feel my partner was exactly the same. I'm also suffering from PND aswell. Men just don't understand they think that by going out to work that's all they need to do and that we just sit at home all day watching tv. I've made my partner have boy's days with our son where I get to have a day to myself and he realises that looking after our son isn't as easy as he thought!! I've found having PND it's good to talk about how you feel so if you ever wanna chat just send me a message x
My boyfriend is unstoppably lazy, I think I'm just getting used to it, I find the best thing to do is to make sure that no matter how much work I'm doing (I work, he doesn't, we've got a little girl and another on the way and it seems like I do almost all the cleaning and picking up from school) I make sure I have some time for myself as well. As I'm pregnant I can't go out for a drink or as late as I normally would, but I've been swimming a couple of times a week, sometimes I get a comment as I'm leaving but I've forgotten it as soon as I'm down the road! I guess you could talk to him, but I've not found it does much good, it's easier to change what you than what he does and just make sure you spend some time taking care of yourself. I was 19 with my first, there are good points and bad points no matter what your age. As you are 18 you could get money for childcare if you went on a course (from Care to Learn) even a part time one. x
hi there hon! im in similiar position! my hubby is abit lazy! sumtimes i fink he sees his son a work not his son! n iv got pnd 2! try n talk 2 him, or maybe get some1 frm ur family 2 spk 2 him, as sumtimes wen ur tellin him they jus see it as ur avein ago! agree with couples councelling anything is worth a try! it cant do any harm eh!! was he lazy b4 baby was born? hang in there chick! n ur not that young 2 start a family! i no a lady who has a 16 year old daughter n shes jus had a baby! age is jus a num! am sure ur a fab mum!! xxx
I'm not in ur position. My husband did moan at me afew times for not doing washing up while he was at work, and i yelled at him. lol Mind you he has now come into the realisation about how hard it is to look after a baby and do all the housework. It does seem to be a common view that people seem to think that we get a 9month holiday when we have babies!
Have you talked to him about how u feel? Does he actually understand PND and make sure he understands what can happen if untreated and in serious cases? The thing is even if he thinks u were too young to have a baby(and if he feels that way maybe he should have thought about it BEFORE getting you pregnant) the fact is it happened and you've got PND and if he loves you he needs to support you and help you get better. Also i know personally if someone said to me that maybe i shouldn't have had my baby, i would find that very hurtful so if you feel that way you should tell him because if you hold a grudge against him in your heart it might eventually split you two up anyway.
If talking doesn't work what about leaving him with the baby for afew hours so he knows what its like?
Or when your baby needs changing/feeding busy yourself with a job that needs doing immediately (drop a lasagne on the carpet lol) and get him to do the change/feed. When he has done it tell him how well he has done it.
I has been 8 months so you may have tried these things. It you're at the end of your tether maybe you need to take him to couples councelling? That way he will realise how serious this is getting and he will have to listen to you.
