So I have a week old newborn and she wakes me up every single hour. I love her so so so so so so much, but it's so tiring to wake up every hour to nurse her, change her diaper, rock her, etc.
My mother offered to stay over to help around and so did my ex but I know it's going to be too stressful for them and I don't want them to go through what I am. My ex comes over and let's me sleep for a few hours as he hangs with her but that's when he isn't at work and when I literally have to beg him. He's a kind person, I just feel like I am alone sometimes and terrible for making him and my family help me when they shouldn't have to. But they have been lovely so far, just... I dunno. The guilt has been eating me alive.
