I'm so sorry things are so tough right now. Comforting a teething, irritable baby isn't an easy job for any mom; I remember those bygone days very well. I would say to you to relax on the "guilt" issue regarding your partner "helping out". The reality is he might be working 55 hours a week but you are doing a LOT more hours than that! Mothers/homemakers often forget that they don't get to punch out and go home from their work. You're on full time duty, Jazz. It's almost 24/7. Your little guy might go to bed but there's still work to do and you have to get your own rest so you can get up the next day and start all over again. Your partner pulling his share of the housework and child care is part of the deal when two people are building a family. Take care and be kind to yourself!
