When new parents feel like strangers surviving together

My partner and I have been home with our three-week-old for what feels like forever and we're both completely exhausted but we keep snapping at each other about who's doing more, who slept less, whose turn it is. We used to be a team and now it feels like we're just two people barely surviving in the same house.
