Oh Hun, it's normal and I know exactly how you feel. DH has never helped me at night and that was always the hardest time for me too. DS used to throw a fit every night around 12 and it would last for at least an hour and nothing I did would help, then he'd wake up every hour to breastfeed and it was terrible in the begining when he was having a hard time latching and my breast hurt. I think I cried every night for the first 6 weeks. It was hard but it got better. Your not a terrible mom and you can do it!

I only have one kid. He's 7 weeks old. I know how you feel at night though. I feel like a single parent most days and my bf, son's dad, is here next to me. He does stuff during the day when I have to work. But if I'm home, I have to do everything. He gets irritated if I ask him to help with something as simple as making a bottle or getting a diaper. He won't help feed or change.
He helped one night when our son was screaming and I did everything, fed, changed, burped, held, everything. My bf held him, changed him again and rocked him. He stopped crying and went to sleep. But that was like the only night he helped and he only did it cause he was tired of the screaming that went on for almost 3 hours, he would not stop screaming. I ended up bawling that night. Completely broke down. He was only like a week or 2 old then.
Tonight my son was up from atleast 4pm-3am almost straight, with like a 5min nap. He would not go to sleep and stay asleep.
There are nights, and days, where I wish I didn't have a kid. Cause the crying and screaming can be unbarable. And there are days when I just feel like I really need sleep but son's awake and won't sleep.
