Anyone else sometimes feel like a single parent even though you’re not?

Question

It’s honestly exhausting. My husband works full time which I’m grateful for because he brings in 3/4 of our income but sometimes I feel like a single parent. I work from home part time, have my daughter here with me all day, cook, clean, do bath time/bedtime routine etc. Plus I’m pregnant with baby #2 (25 weeks) so I’m tired and burnt out half way though the day. 
I’ve said things to him and nothing changes and I’m just sick of it. I’m so blessed, I love my babies, I have a roof over my head and food on the table but I’m exhausted.

Answer

I just had a conversation with my husband about this the other day. We have a 7 year old and 14 months and it's been really difficult now that it is summer and the baby is getting into everything. I stay home with the kids and I understand he works all day but he does have a desk job and I am running around trying to meet everyone's needs and trying to get stuff done. Some days I don't know how I get dinner on the table.

Answer

Yep. Me too. I recently had a meltdown (hormonal i believe) and told my husband I’m going to snap unless someone helps me. He got the picture, even though it’s unfortunate that I had to snap (and by snap I mean cry!) We’ve been married 8 years, his works been super busy lately and my work load (I work from home with both kids) stays the same so it’s natural for me to step up when he’s clocking more hours and heavier stress load, but it got to the point where he didn’t help with anything and I was under such stress that I was as having heart palpations 🥺 anyway. Your not alone I’m so sorry your going thru it! I wish it wasn’t this way!
