You’re exhausted from feeding all night and your partner is playing golf. If you’re currently in the depths of the newborn phase, and resenting your partner for going back to their normal life, you’re not alone. Mum of two, relationship coach, and host of the ‘Parenthood’ podcast Leonie Akhidenor has heard it all (and worse) so we asked for her help to answer your questions.
Steph & Leonie discuss the resentment that parents can feel when they’re taking on more of the load than their partner & how to manage it, what non-feeding partners can do to feel useful and how common it is to feel disconnected from your baby in the early days.
