Anyone else just feel like a failure at life? I have 3 young kids and a busy life so not home much so the house gets a day behind on cleaning. So I catch up and then it's back to disaster in a short period of time. I'm consumed in the chaos of my house and the clutter. I try so hard to keep up with it and then it slips again. Today my husband is cleaning the garage and whatnot and sending me texts saying "I'm throwing this away, and selling your bike because you will never ride it" and I just feel like a massive disappointment. I'm struggling so hard with post partum depression/phycosis and terrible anxiety and having my husband clean makes it worse because I feel like I have deeply failed him and feel like he is so mad at me. Sorry for the rant I'm just feeling horrible today and having a panic attack. I really need help and I'm being consumed by all of it 😔

Try to take a deep breath. You have 3 young children and one on the way. You have your hands full from sun up to sun down, cooking, cleaning, bathing, washing...you are busy. Clutter happens. I have one kiddo and my table is covered with papers and crumbs. I have a bike I haven't been on for years.
Maybe ask you husband to do something else. Detail a car. Or just focus on his stuff and leave you out of it.
Having a neat and tidy garage will be accomplished when they're all out of the house, it isn't a priority and that is okay.

You have your hands full plus you're pregnant. Your husband should understand. Mine has to take up my slack because I don't have the energy to do simple chores some days. He washes dishes, cleans the bathrooms, cooks dinners, vacuums, pretty much everything but the laundry because he realizes I have my hands full and I haven't felt well in months! Try not to worry about your husband and how he feels about you slacking, focus on you & try to do your best and stay happy and positive for you and the kids💜

I’m sorry you feel this way. Try and remember that you keep three little humans alive and are growing any entire person! Your husband lives in the house as well and can pitch in.

I’m sorry you’re feeling that way and I completely understand.
You are not a failure just because your house is untidy! Everyone struggles with keeping their house perfectly organized. I have a long list of things I need to do. As everyone else said, your husband should be helping out as well and it’s a good thing that he’s stepping in. Try not to be so hard on yourself. Take it one day at a time.
