Somewhat single motherhood

Hi so I know I'm not a single mum but I feel you guys will give me the best advice

Some days I feel like a single mother having to do everything by myself.

So my husband works 6 days a week away from home. My daughter is nearly 16 months old and I am due in 4 weeks. He was suppose to get time off for a month when the new baby is born but those plans have fallen through and he has to work now. He doesn't drive so he can't just come home and his English isn't good enough to learn how to drive.

I just want to ask you all how you cope with children with such a close age gap by yourselves. My family all say to my face they will help me but then they never do. No one ever checks up on me or anything like that so I'm basically on my own and when my husband comes home it's like having a second child in the house so there is no relief

If anyone can give me some advice and tips with how to juggle a newborn and a toddler that would be very helpful.
