Postpartum Mother Story: After having a child, the responsibility of raising it lies on both the parents. But even today in our society the mother has to take care of everything. The husband also gets punished for not speaking, as in this story.
Postpartum Depression Mother: I am 30 years old and have given birth to twins 8 months ago. From raising children to household work, I do it myself. 32 year old husband works full time. But they never lend a hand in house help or taking care of children. Not only this, if you say no in bed, there is silence in the house. On Reddit, the woman has narrated her ordeal of what she is going through. So let us tell you a mother’s painful story with which many women would agree.
I take care of the kids and do the housework non-stop
The woman wrote on Reddit that 8 months ago I gave birth to twins. The responsibility of those two children, the responsibility of the house all rests on me. My husband Dev, who works full time, does not help me at all in household chores. I get tired physically and emotionally. To overcome this, I go to the gym 3-4 days a week for 40 minutes between 4-5 am. After this, whenever I return home, I keep walking without stopping. Waking up the baby, washing their clothes, cleaning the house, feeding them, cleaning the bottle. Disinfecting and cleaning toys. Cooking and even shopping for oil and spices is my responsibility. By 6/7 pm I have no energy left and feel tired.
Husband returns home and is busy with mobile
On the other hand, when my husband comes home, he says hello to the child and goes to the bathroom and stays inside for 10 minutes. He never asks how I am, even though I have recently been put on medication for PPD (Postpartum Depression). Whenever I try to talk to him he spreads negativity. Nothing brings happiness or joy, he always sees the glass half empty and never sees light or happiness.
He never hugs me or kisses me. He doesn’t do anything good for me. The woman further says that I know that a lot of work has to be done to repay the house loan. But when I start my work in the new year, I will definitely help.

No sex drive due to fatigue
When we’re in bed, she wants to get physical by saying something disgusting, and I say no. After which he pulls me towards himself. But I just refuse. Because I don’t have energy left after working all day and then staying awake at night because of the children. He would get angry and let me go and then turn around. He is glued to his phone like there is no tomorrow, it never leaves his hands, even when he is ‘playing’ with the kids. I don’t know how much more I can take. Now I have started getting nervous before sleeping because I don’t want to upset him by saying no because when I say no, he doesn’t talk to me for two days. I don’t understand what to do.
People reacted a lot to this story of the woman. A user asked whether you told him that help in household work is also necessary. Of course you don’t want to have sex with someone who doesn’t do household chores and doesn’t show love. At the same time, another user wrote, ‘Tell him to change the day for a day. If it’s that easy, ask her to babysit for 24 hours.
