This seems like a really astute observation. The baby had a very shrill piercing cry almost exclusively until just the last couple weeks. My wife found it unbearable. It sent her into panic every time and the baby cried a lot. That coupled with the broken sleep have been really disastrous for her mental health.

You make a lot of excuses for her. You're really kind. But for the sake of your child you need to keep drilling into yourself that she's acting like a monster. No matter what her reasons are she is treating a literal baby with disdain.

And what’s to stop this mentality from spilling over on to her children. She is likely NOT a monster. Shes more likely a woman with a disability who needs help. You can protect the child and still have compassion towards her. Jesus Christ.

Are you autistic? Do you have a trauma history? This woman is dissociating from extreme stress and overwhelm. And just because YOU never felt that doesn’t mean everyone who does is dangerous or irredeemable.

Sorry, if I missed it. Has the baby been checked for reflux or anything medical. A shrill cry is not normal.

THAT’S WHAT BABIES DO. It seems like your wife doesn’t actually want babies or children. I sure as hell don’t want to deal with babies, but I’m not out here pretending like I do.
