In today’s Reddit episode, we dive into a post that so many of us will relate to: “My husband slept through the baby crying -right next to her bassinet.”
This story isn’t just about night wakings. It’s about postpartum exhaustion, resentment when we say “yes” to things we don’t want to do, and how trust in our partner can wobble when we feel like we’re carrying everything alone.
Inside the episode, I talk about:
Why postpartum travel can be so draining (and why “six weeks” really is the bare minimum for recovery).
How resentment grows when we override our own boundaries.
What might really be going on when a usually-responsible partner suddenly drops the ball.
Ways to share the load of night wakings without feeling like you’re left alone in the trenches.
Practical tips to make travel and sleep easier for babies, toddlers, and you.
