I don't want to be a father! I'm resenting the baby!"
It’s pretty unforgivable. That being said, there is such a thing as male postpartum depression, and he may have experienced a bit of that as well.
I do think that it’s probably best for him to have bonding time with his child. But I admit to feeling nervous about someone with so much ambivalence being responsible for a baby for the duration of a whole shift of you working. Caring for a baby can exhaust your patience even when you’re thrilled to be a parent.
Can you make alternative plans for urgent childcare? If so, I would.
Thanks. He was acting like a jerk even pre-delivery so I don't think it's ppd. It was the baby getting in the way of him spending all day with a woman he had feelings for.
I have his aunt and uncle who adore the baby as back up.
