Stay at home mom/Mother’s Day
Before I say anything let me give you all a little back story..
Im a stay at home mom every since I lost my job as of dec 2021 I’ve been going to school instead of going back to work. Online school to be exact.. so every since I’ve been at home more my “boyfriend” ( I put the quotes because I don’t know what to call him at this point especially after today) makes me clean all of the house and do all of the house duties which is no big deal but I’m the only one who cooks for us, cleans and plans meals everyday so just because I’m staying at home does not mean I get to chill and be lazy all day because I have a toddler nothing ever stays clean my son Always has me on my feet… I told my boyfriend to at least start cooking and cleaning on his off days yet he still fails to do that.. so I end up having to do the cooking, cleaning and planning meals everyday because his excuse is he has to work.. the most he has to work is an 8 hour shift.. before I lost my job I was working from home for 8 hours, taking care of a toddler while at home cooking and still cleaning so yes I call working all day an excuse because that’s all that he does… We only have one toddler and im pregnant again due in November BUT I feel like I have 2 kids already because of him I have to clean up after him all the time.. being a stay at home mom is not what I expected… it is mentally and emotionally draining and that is not because of my son its because of my boyfriend who relies on me to do everything. I have to change most of our sons diapers, feed him, give him a bath, and just do all the stuff for our son he hardly does anything I feel like a single mom even though we live together I try to get him to help a little more but he hardly does anything still if he does anything I have to remind him or tell him how to do it… SO to fast forward to today, today is MOTHERS DAY and I don’t even feel like it is even though he did buy me a ring as a gift not an engagement ring just a regular ring which I do appreciate but I thought maybe since I do all the cooking and cleaning he would do that today for me since it’s Mother’s Day except I wake up to dirty dishes In the sink and in the stove and I asked him kindly hey what’s for dinner tonight? You know thinking he maybe had a dinner planned or maybe thinking he was going to help finally cook a meal but he goes to say idk you tell me what are you cooking today? He says I have to go to work, I bought you a $3000 ring( not to mention he sales jewelry for work so the ring was not exactly $3000 it is worth $3000 just to clear that up since he gets discounts) im not going to come home and cook dinner for you I don’t know what more you want than that ring and shut the door and went off to work… but all this week he has been going to the bars with friends right AFTER work and didn’t come home until 2-3am so it’s not that he is tired after work I just don’t understand I’m I wrong for being a little frustrated about this like I don’t get one day out of the whole year to just relax because after all today is about me right? Like I said I do very much appreciate the ring but am I asking for too much? Not to mention just because I stay at home more because of school and all we never agreed on me doing all of the cooking and cleaning that’s just something that just so happened because if I don’t cook or clean no one will… I also never ever complain to him about anything even though I should, but I feel like his personal maid and chief which I would have never signed up for… because of him I want to go back to work but our child has never been to daycare so I’m scared to start doing that
