Advice for a dad.
Hi my wife is 6 weeks pregnant. We have a 6 month old and I don't think my wife is as good of a mom as I thought she'd be. She gave our baby nyquil twice, she shakes her, says she hates her, snatches her up when her crying is uncontrollable, sprays water on her from the bottles bounces her bouncer hard so she's basically flying up and down holds her upside down. She's a wonderful mother when the baby is quiet and laughing but when her crying is unbearable she gets frustrated and does all that. I don't know if I want to go through with this pregnancy. I don't want new baby going through that. I love her and I want to help her but I think abortion would be right? Right? She suffers from bipolar manic depression and has anger issues. I need advice. I love her.
It doesn't mean that your wife is a bad mother. She very well may be just going through PPD along with other emotions that she can't handle alone. The baby crying and screaming, may just make her feel thise emotions so much more by adding stress that she can't handle. She also may be going through the jealousy period. I went through that after my first baby. I never acted the way she is though, but I would get very depressed thinking my fiance was all about the baby and not me. Its a hard adjustment for some to get used to. I don't agree that she needs mental help, I believe that sje just may need some guidance counseling. Someone to talk to who knows what shes going through.
No problem !
Thank you krb0911!

Thank you ladies. I guess I'll be dragging her to the Dr whether she likes it or not!
Some women really struggle with it. Many women feel jealous of the baby because now eveything is about the baby. They have to share their husband with someone else too. I would try the doctor they know best and maybe try to give her more attention. Your doing a good job by reaching out must men brush it under the rug.
I'll give her Dr a call then. She's been wonderful these past 5 yrs. I'm not sure if she just can't deal with small babies or what
I would call her doctor and ask their advice. It only takes one time you not being home and something bad could happen. God willing that doesn't happen. If she is sick she needs help and you do not want to feel guilty later.
I know she needs help and I've told her several times. I'm the only patient one. So i take care if the baby all of the time. She was wonderful for the first 4 months. I don't know if it's PPD or what.
That's really sad :( made my stomach turn a little while reading it. I think you should seek medical attention for her I understand you love her but maybe she should be on medication or at least get some professional help for the sake of your babies & you.
Yall need to sit down and talk about this because really from how you are explaining ur situation you all shouldn't probably have another child at this point in time.
Your wife is going to end up killing your child if you don't make sure she gets the proper help she needs now. And if she refuses to get help you need to take your child and leave
Yeah contact a mental health place that's horrible don't let your child go thru that. She might be able to get help
Uh I think u need to take the kids and run or ur wife needs help
