My baby is a bundle of joy.
My husband is an idiot. His family is moronic.
And my stepdaughters make the most of the situation.

Seriously, I have never even imagined that someone could act like this. How can a man care so little about his child? How can a grandmother care so little about her grandchild? How can an aunt care so little for her niece?
And at the same time, bow down to three other girls.

I can, somehow, understand the aunts.. Kind of.
The grandmother, my husband's mother, not really. Well, not at all.
But my husband? I don't have the words to speak about this.

We have a baby, not even a month old. However, my husband does not care about our little girl, at all. I know that men don't feel comfortable around infants, I know. But shouldn't he be at least interested in her, in some way? Because my husband isn't. He pretends that she doesn't exist-gives me money for her, but doesn't want to hold her, look at her, or even talk about her. He only interacts her when he's passing by, as if it's someone else's child, not his own. He doesn't ask about how she's doing, only sometimes tells me to check on her. If I ask him why wouldn't he check on her, he looks at me like I'm a nutjob.

His mother came to visit, gave us a gift, then spent the whole time talking to my husband about stepdaughters. She didn't hold the baby, or interact with her except for a little caress on the hand with a "Cutie" comment. She interacts with her neighbours' kids more than that. I know, I've seen it.

His sister, just one of them, was there too. She gave a present as well, and spent some time discussing with my husband should SD14 wear high heels to her little prom or not. Then she focused on reading a magazine while my husband and mother in law talked about SDs.

Stepdaughters have been over, didn't even look at the baby or me, they pretended we don't exist. Well they did say the equivalent of "Whazup" in our language. I was in the bathroom, our girl started crying.. SD12 turned up the volume on the TV.
I told my husband about it, he just looked at me. "Alright", he said, and went to give them money since they were going out.
SD12 came back home at half past 10. SD14 at almost midnight, SD16 in the middle of the night. They were loud, woke us all up, and even went to eat and turned on the TV in the middle of the night. They went to sleep at around 7 in the morning.
My husband, instead of sending them to bed as soon as they came home (he should have made them come home earlier, of course, but that's a whole another story), offered to help them make the food and asked if they wanted something, are they tired, did they have a good time outside. They said "Sorry for waking you up, dad". Nothing for me and our girl.

I asked him if he thinks it's normal that they come home at that time and behave that way.. He says that their behaviour is not bad, and they deserved to stay out late because they are responsible, have good grades and achievements.

I can't wait to be able to get the f*ck out of here. I just hope I actually do it when it becomes possible.
