Bang!

Woman writes that having a baby made her want to beat her husband to death with a frying pan.

People in the comments section then tell her this is "normal" and not a bad thing.

"So true. Preach"

"I still feel a great deal of contempt for my husband."

"Sill have a low level rage for my husband."

It goes on and on and on!

because more than likely the husband/boyfriend does nothing to help with the baby and it is left up to her to do everything. that is one of the many reason's im childfree. the man get to do what ever he wants accept no responsibility for the life he created and she is left to do everything, although the woman is partly to blame for it too, id kick him in the ass and tell him he has to pull his weight it should be 50/50 with raising the child

i like my freedom and will keep it that way

Unfortunately, it's hard to force someone to do their part when it comes to childrearing. It's not like you can say "fine, if he doesn't feed/change the baby, I guess it just doesn't get done" like you can with trying to force people into some jobs. (But hopefully you manage to choose someone in the first place who will totally pony up when the time comes.) Sure, you can yell at them ad nauseum, but then that just makes you a nagging harpy bitch. "Ever since she had the baby, my wife has changed... now all she does is scream at me." You think???

But, yeah, her husband is totally slacking and not being thoughtful... and the end of the article isn't "and now it's okay because he's totally taken on his responsibilities and is thinking about how not to make my life more difficult" but "and now it's okay because I just magically stopped caring." *headdesk*

I think what was said is generally the case (there are plenty of studies showing the average man doesn't pull his weight) but I did notice a glaring lack of premise in this article. Was she working before? Was she planning on working again? Had they discussed responsibilities? Etc.

Also she makes a lot of "undoing" comments. "I know this is crazy buuuut" is the same as "I know it's racist buuuut". No. You know it's socially unacceptable but you believe it whole heartedly.

Maybe instead of waiting for the "hormonal" storm to pass you can maybe see a therapist, or have an honest conversation with your husband, or an honest conversation with yourself.

And people wonder why the divorce rate is so high...
