mood swings

[mybaby2]

Sometimes i just feel completely alone and don't know how to handle it.  All my bf does is work and then come home and play video games all the time.  I am working but got my hrs severely cut after the holidays so i am home alone a lot.  It gives my mind way too much time to think!  Im afraid to end up raising this baby alone. Just really need to talk to someone.

This is his 4th kid and he hasnt been apart of the lives of the other 3, so i keep wondering why i will be different.  This is my 2nd and i pretty much raised my first by myself and worked full time cuz my ex husband drank so much and never helped out.  I know its just me being needy and scared.  I will be going back to work full time as soon as i find a job.  I know he needs to unwind but sometimes he is on the computer from the time he gets off work (between 5&7) till 4am!  Yes im glad he isnt out drinking & getting into trouble.  But still is it so much to ask for a little attention?

I agree with the prev post... it does sound like youll be the primary caregiver as you not working as much and he cant help being at work... its part of being an adult and parent, you have to provide for your family... my guy is working 2 jobs and is paying all the bills.... its awesome, i work casual night shifts so i pay for baby supplies, groceries, and pet food (we go thru a lot!) sometimes he doesnt get in till 830 or so and still has to eat and shower(thats in the winter, summer could easily be 11pm or later)... but i get to be at home everyday with my daughter... when i work nights i still have to come home and parent all day(no sleep) but its worth it not to have the additional day care bill and i get to be with my daughter! i think your bored right now but once you have your baby your gonna be busy and wont want to leave him/her.... they are absolutely amazing! everyday i get to see her change and grow... lots of parents miss out on that with work and what not... i cant say my guy is a super dad that changes diapers and automatically knows what to do with her... kinda opposite, he just now started bathing her(when she turned 18 months) if the is even a smudge of poop he wont change her bum, and he ALWAYS asks me if he should do this or that, like can she have yogurt or whatever and its annoying but he is a good dad, he comes home to us everyday, he rarely drinks, doesnt smoke, and listens to me when i tell him all the new stuff she learned today... i cant say that i dont get those times where i wished he would help more... im prego and had a rough go at the begining but im at home all day and hes tired when he gets home... so i suck it up lol and they do need to unwind... i go on here for that :)

What a great guy!  He is providing for you and your baby coming.  I hope this allows you to spend more time with the baby.  He probably comes home and plays games to unwind.  Irritating I know but better than other things.  You will not be lonely soon enough.  Goodluck and congrats early!
