I am a stay at home mom and my husband just told me “are you really that tired” just because he works in the hot sun/attic all day sometimes doing over time....
Am I horrible for being mad and just wanting a break sometimes?
He also commented on my belly (3pp) saying I need to get back on track....... after I’ve lost myself, from giving birth and giving my all to my son..
I do the laundry, clean the house, clean up after my husband (clothes on the floor, tooth paste on the counter, dishes not put away, trash all over the place etc.) clean up after our pets, just everything because he works for us.
He wanted me to be a stay at home mom, I wanted to work part time to make my own money and not depend on him but he does not trust anyone with our kid.
He still has his “day” Saturday. Going out to hang out with his friends while I watch our kid or do the chores.
Everytime I try to eat or shower I need to be rushed because our kid cries or he’s just letting our kid cry while he plays games.
When our kid is crying,fussy, he forced him to do tummy time. And when our kid is doing tummy time, he’ll push our kid to do it longer.
And he gets mad at me when dinner isn’t made because I’m so exhausted for cleaning the house, taking care of our kid, just everything
And comments “dinner should be made for me when I get home”
He always talks about how he’s the bread maker yet we’re behind on bills. I still had my own bills to pay before leaving my job which I wanted to pay on my own but now he has to pay for it, which is also behind.
And it always comes down to “I’m the bread maker” “do you know how many other moms wish they could be a stay at home mom”
“Do you know how many other moms do this on their own, with no family, no friends, no husband. Just them”
Get this, he said “dinner should be made for me when I get home”
I’m the one who feeds our baby, bathes him (he’s never bathed him once), plays with him, reads, sings, talks to him. Just everything. The only thing he does is burp him when I ask, watches him when I need to do something (leaves him laying on the bed to watch tv)
I am exhausted and I just feel like a total failure....
