Just moved! Rant kinda....
We just moved into our new house! It's been an exciting time that's for sure. As well as overwhelming! I'm 23w5d and had back surgery in February. There's so much to do and I feel like my mom and sisters aren't here for me. It's getting to the point where I feel as if I need to beg them to help me. I did have one of my brothers help my SO with the large and heavy items (we had finished everything else by this time) but that's all the help we got. I've asked my sisters and mom to come help me clean because I can't physically do it all. The SO, his 9 yr old son and I moved two 15' uhauls... I feel exhausted and sore. Now today we are going to paint and clean the place we moved out of plus I want to clean everything in the new house (everything has to be clean! Lol) so we are sure to get our deposit back and who knows what the previous owners were like lol . I've asked them to help and they say maybe or won't make time. I don't care what time lol just need some more help. The SO has been helpful but..... Let's get real most men don't know how to deep clean. I wish I had more friends to ask to help. But since I've been Prego they've disappeared so I don't even want to bother. Am I asking too much of my sisters and mom??

I dont think your asking too much and its sad that you even have to ask. But weve moved 13 times or so (seems a lot but some of that was moving back home and back out, etc) and have had help maybe 2 xs. Now my hubby is one of seven. I have one sister. You would think someone would help! One time his bro did and one time my cousin did. Moving is exhausting! Im sorry you're going through this but unfortunately its not uncommon.? im the type to jump in and help so i dont get those who dont.

I didn't feel like it was too much. I understand everyone has their own life. But my little sister didn't help because she was too busy getting ready to get drunk on Saturday and then Sunday was too hungover to do anything. ? so that really bothered me. Lol

I think it sounds like you are expecting them to help.
I agree family should try to help each other but it should not be an expectation.
Hire a housekeeper for a day to help you clean.

I don't think it's too much. You should want to help your family when you can. My mom always help me when I move evenwhen I'm not pregnant.if they don't offer though, don't ask. But definitely communicate with them how you feel so they know

Family should be there if you're struggling. I mean, pregnant and after back surgery? My family would be willing to help me out more than that. Yeah you kinda do expect it because it's something you'd do for them. When you need help you should be able to turn to family.
