My daughter is 2 months old and I stay home with her. Aside from a doctors appointment I have yet to figure out how to leave the house with her. I have tried taking her for stroller walks but she has been very fussy lately and by the time we could take one it is too warm outside. I barely left my house while pregnant and now never leave it unless my Husband is home to watch her. It has become a point of contention between us because he often will leave me alone with the baby while he hangs out with friends or works in the garage. He does not understand why I am angry that he leaves me alone with her from 6:30 AM-7:30 PM when he gets off of work at 4:00 PM. On the weekends he has left me alone with her all day to hang out with friends and does not understand why it upsets me. I BF so it is hard to leave the house for extended periods of time, so he truly has not been with her alone for more than a few hours. I feel very lonely and isolated at this point. Depression has been hitting me hard this past month and I feel like I have no support. I love my daughter so much, but I feel like it is at the cost of completely destroying mental health and any sense of self. My home has become a prison and I am struggling very hard mentally.
