Father of 8-weeks-old baby jealous of his own child, confirms why there is no hope for men anymore

Let’s be real: the post-pregnancy phase is a wild ride for new parents. Sleepless nights, endless diaper changes, and a tiny human constantly demanding your attention can feel like a marathon with no finish line. But for many new mothers, the challenges can go beyond just caring for the baby. Suddenly, they’re also faced with the reality that their adult partner might be throwing tantrums of his own, acting more like a needy child than an equal partner.

When you decide to bring a child into the world, that baby’s needs should take priority—no ifs, ands, or buts. You’d think this is common sense, but apparently, for some, it’s not. Take Scott Tyler, for instance. After the birth of his eight-week-old baby, he seems to believe that his wife’s inability to cater to his narcissistic need for attention is justification for why men cheat on women during and after pregnancy. Talk about disappointing! Complaining about feeling neglected while your newborn is crying for basic needs? Not a good look, my dude.

One sharp observer pointed out how Tyler’s attitude shows he doesn’t even see his wife as a human being, which underscores a troubling level of objectification. Another user noted that they hadn’t seen a man get so thoroughly roasted by the internet in ages, especially since Tyler not only deleted his tweet but also shut down his entire account. Ouch.

It’s perplexing that some men wonder why modern women are hesitant to marry. Just look at guys like Tyler (and yes, even Trump) who feel entitled to comment on and control women’s reproductive choices while treating a child as a mere accessory. They want to raise a baby that’s only half theirs without grasping the emotional and psychological toll that pregnancy and postpartum life can take on a woman.

The postpartum period is incredibly vulnerable for mothers. Their bodies and emotions are in flux, and they might not feel up to being intimate for a while. It’s perfectly normal and temporary. If a partner can’t handle that, maybe fatherhood isn’t for them. There’s only room for one screaming, pooping, attention-seeking infant, and it sure shouldn’t be the adult male throwing a fit.

Now, don’t get me wrong—the feelings and needs of the non-birthing partner absolutely matter. But it’s essential to recognize the emotional challenges that come with the postpartum period, which can escalate into postpartum depression (PPD). This serious condition affects about 1 in 7 mothers, bringing feelings of hopelessness and even self-harm into the mix.

So, what’s the takeaway? Your partner needs your support more than ever. She needs help changing diapers, managing household chores, and catching up on sleep whenever she can. Patience and understanding are key as she navigates this challenging time. So, it’s time to put on your big boy pants and step up. After all, being a partner means sharing the load, not adding to it.
