My baby is 8months plus now. Im a SAHM.
After giving birth, I feel tat I have lost my husband and friends.
My husband dotes on our baby very much to d point I'm afraid he may pamper her too much. Plus I feel tat his priority is now on her instead of me. Before we had a baby, he's ok wif almost everything I asked of him. Now, out of 10 times, 9 times his answer is always "NO". This year's Mother's Day is my first but he felt there's no need to celebrate. Almost I told him directly tat it's a very important day to me, he just totally ignored me. I've always had the problem of retail therapy whenever I feel stressed n recently I had tat again. I told him abt it but instead of trying to find out d root cause of my stress, he once said, "I gave u $200 for your retail therapy lah". I feel really upset tat he doesn't care abt me anymore. I feel my "status" in his heart has dropped.
I have little contact wif my single friends now. My married friends do not have time for me and i have not really made friends wif other mums. Recently I have friends who were facing some issues in life so they looked for me. I went thru their rough patches wif them. But when things got better, they stopped contacting me. I feel being made use of! I have been very proactive in trying to keep in contact wif old friends and making new ones but to little avail.
I had quite bad post-natal depression after birth which got better. But I'm tinking whether I've fully recover from it. Or my expectations too high?
