I cant take this. Hubby is complaining about lack of sleep when i havent slept more than 8 hours over a span of 3 days. He naps through the day when hes done work, i dont get to nap. Everyone says nap when my toddler does but nope, Im cleaning while she naps, because he bitches if there is a toy on the floor or dishes drying in the rack or if i dont have laundry folded and put away. Then my preggo ass is up til god knows when with our almost two year old while hes snoring away in bed. All i want is a warm shower, but its too much to ask for 10 minutes to myself. He complains when she cries if i just try to go pee. I get it he works hard and he is tired but so am i. Im also taking care of my step kids while he naps during the day, which is better now that school started. Im so mentally, physically and emotionally exausted i feel like a single mom. Im so down right now 😔

I feel the EXACT same!!!!! Then he’s like you have postpartum depression & need meds... um no I don’t, I need you to be supportive & help with your child!! I have to go back to work soon & idk how I’m going to do this. Pretty sure I’ll just actually be single when I can afford to be. This is hard...I know. Praying for you dear

I am so sorry you have to deal with that . He should be more understanding. You have a lot on your plate . Yes he works but it’s not easy to take care of kids , a man and the house at the same time . You need to get some rest . He will just have to bitch unless he wants to do your work for you . I wish he would help you out and let you nap as well . You didn’t make those baby’s alone . Men have it so easy but then think they have it so rough . I hope it gets better hun. You definitely shouldn’t feel single when you have a man next to you .

You need some you time. It sounds like you're being Superwoman I know because it's me too lol but you can't be Superwoman everyday. Two year olds are a handful any more kids after before that too attract attention as well. If it seems easier go nap too take advantage a toy on the floor won't kill no one. Call your mom or sister for a day off too sometime. I was starting to feel like my only time off was when I'm in labor n delivery room getting checked out time for me to sleep in peace. Right now I have alot on my plate n being pregnant makes my situation quite harder. But I pray n keep going. I hope you take your break when being Superwoman really burns u out just do it. No one's perfect everyday you can't please everyone your hubby works n provides but u do too just a fair work as him. Find some you time😊

You need to talk to him. You are in a partnership, and you also need a break too. Tell him you feel like your drowning in chores, including now having enough time to shower. He probably thinks your superwoman and can handle it all.

@penelope127 ive tried but its a waste of breath, he says how he comes home from a long shift to a messy home (and believe me my home isnt messy by any means, just a little disorganized) then he gets pissy, sees me in all this pregnant glory chasing our toddler while cleaning up the same mess for the bajillionth time, and acts like i can hadle it all, doesnt offer to help. Hes an older ex military guy(in his 50s) that believes the wifes place is in the home taking care of everyone and everything, hes the one that asked me to be a SAHM. Dont get me wrong i love being home with my daughter, but i have little to no interaction with adults, and i do the exact same thing day in and day out, its got me depressed, with him not helping its just worse

@snowy_owl9, if he’s not going to help you, what about a nanny that can come a couple of hours a day? My friend found one off care.com to help her. That’s just crazy to me he won’t even help so you can take a shower. They are his kids too.

@penelope127 ill look into that, i hate that id have to pay for someone else to help when 10 minuted is all i need, its just upsetting that he doesn't offer to help for 10 minutes

@snowy_owl9, right, I’m not sure what else though, because you said he won’t help. 🤷🏼♀️ I hope you can figure something out. That seems so frustrating.
