Rant Alert: I’m so frustrated with everything right now. I am 39 weeks pregnant and currently waiting to have my speech delayed 3.5 y/o evaluated for autism next month. I don’t get paid maternity leave because my work doesn’t offer it. So I picked up a part time work from home job that only gives me 24 hours a week at $5.28 less an hour than my regular job. It’s been a year since my husband has had a job where he lasted more than a month. & he doesn’t apply for jobs himself either. I have to do it or it won’t get done & he’s so particular. He refuses to work an overnight job, and keeps trying to work day jobs that always end up interfering with my day job (obviously). Then, he blames me because I’m always on call during the day and it’s so hard to find a job that works with that....you know except an evening or overnight job but whatever.🙄 The only thing I ask him to do around the house is the dishes because I absolutely hate them & he’ll literally let them sit in the sink for a week before he finally does them which totally disgusts me. Usually I end up doing them. He stays up all night playing video games, then sleeps until 2 pm. Basically any time I’m working I come home at around 11 and he’s not up with my son. It makes me feel so bad for working. I might as well leave him home alone.😢 He doesn’t do anything with our son & if I get upset because I’m trying to work at home and my son is being too demanding he’ll just hand him YouTube kids on his phone.😪 I’m still working my other job and plan on working till I pop cause idk how I’m even going to afford our bills after I have the baby. I’m thinking that I’ll have to cut my 6 weeks unpaid leave down to like 2-4 weeks. Then, I’m scared as hell to even go to work and leave my newborn and 3.5 y/o alone with him while he just sleeps all day. It just makes me so mad that I make every sacrifice for my family and he can’t even do the smallest thing for us. If I complain, then all I care about is money. I’m so over it.

Girl he needs to step up. I'd cut the cords on his game system and tell him he needs to be there for you and the kids. That's just not right. You have every reason to be upset. He's got a family he needs to get his ass in gear.

Every time I put my foot down he turns it around on me. Like he’ll say oh you just want me to do everything, money is all that matters to you, or he’ll act like I’m cheating. Dude I’m 39 weeks pregnant. You think that’s what I’m worried about right now. It’s just exhausting. 😪

you deserve so much better than that. If he's not working someone has too. If he guilt trips you for that then he has a problem. You shouldn't be worried about if u can afford things when your on maternity leave. He should step up and take that worry away. I'd get rid of all the games. I'd look for jobs for him and set up interviews. And I would seek a couples therapist if you want to make things work with him if I was you. He needs a push in the right direction.

Time to make an ultimatum. You're too close to popping into labor to have him do this bs.

It doesn’t matter what I say. He somehow always makes it my fault. He doesn’t care. I just sound like a broken record.

well maybe it's time for counseling and if that doesn't work, it seems you'd be better on your own since you're doing it alone anyways. I'm sorry he's being such a butt head

I'm so sorry. Somethings got to change with him. He should be providing for the family and since he isn't the least he could do is keep up the house and spend some real time with your son. These games and electronics are not doing any good for them.

I swear. I could have written this myself. Almost. My husband has been out of work since February. I run a daycare out of our home so I am obviously here for our kids. But he does nothing around the house or he will start something and not finish it. He plays video games until late in the night and sleeps until noon. He is applying for jobs and going to interviews though. Idk why he hasn’t gotten a job yet. He does help with our kiddos though. But I swear he did more when he had a job. Now he just pisses me off lol I tell him everyday just get ANY job idc what the pay is as long as it has benefits just get out of my house😤😤😤
