Well, you know, if I go to shower, um, not even five minutes later, the baby will start screaming and he'll bring him in and basically it'll be like, I can't handle it.

Here he is.

And I'll be there in the middle of my shower.

And, uh,

You know, I'm a working mom.

I work two jobs, and I'm a student as well.

So, you know, at the end of the day when I come home, and I've been at work all day long, and I come home, and, you know, our son is teething, so that's a lot, and I want 20 minutes to myself in the shower.

You know, I feel like lately I've had to be, like, very stern of, please don't bother me, or I have to lock the door.

That's been really hard to try to convey to him, like, can I have 20 minutes to myself?

That I'm not being crawled on, that I'm not being touched.

Right.

Nobody needs me.

Yeah.

But it's always at that point, like I know that 20 minutes is going to end and then it's all going to start up again.

Okay.

He used to do really small gestures for me.

I mean, like he would bring me a drink when he'd come home from work.

Um, or he would bring me flowers and I don't really remember the last time I got flowers or anything like that.

Yeah.

Um, I don't think that we've had any like dates since we've had our son.
