Losing my shit?!?!!

Question

Less than 9 weeks left and I feel like I'm gonna lose my shit with everybody. I am beyond irritable and my toddler is driving me crazy during the day then my husband comes home from work and is extremely unhelpful. I don't ask for much out of him most of the time but sometime I just need 5 minutes alone after taking care of our toddler all day, tending to house, I'm potty training her, making dinner, packing his lunch, etc. sometimes I just need a few minutes to relax and considering baby is coming in August I think I deserve a few minutes to myself. Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna freak out I just need to relax! Hormones are making me a crazy bitch!

I feel like some of you girls need to tell your guys to get their Crap together or leave. That being said, my husband doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about my needs either. My best advice is to talk to them. I had a conversation about this with my husband. I told him that I get it, he works 40 hrs a week and he's tired when he comes home. Been there. But even as a stay at home mom, I work 24 hours a day,7 days a week. I told him that i don't feel like it's a lot for me to expect him to make lunch (especially leftovers) for our 2 year old once in a while without me asking (or an eye roll when I do) or for him to realize our child needs his diaper changed before I mention it. Ever since that conversation things have gotten better. He's still a couch potato when he's home a lot of the time, but at the very least when I ask him to do something these days I don't feel like I'm asking for the world. We have to remember that guys aren't wired the way we are. Most of them couldn't care less that the dishes are piled and the laundry is undone. As long as they get to eat life is good. That doesn't mean they are right, it just means they are different. If you try telling them (respectfully) how you are feeling and they still don't care, it may be time to reevaluate your relationship because it seems to me that they don't care about your well being. They helped (I'm assuming) create the life growing inside you. The last they can do is tell you to go take a long hot bath while they get you child/ren ready for bed. 5 mins is not too much to ask for. Heck, 3 hours one night a week isn't too much to ask for. Again, your jobs is 24/7. Theirs(typically) is 40 a week.

Same boat, my SO comes home from work, showers, eats and lays on the couch. I just got on maternity leave, before that I worked full time, and have a 3.5 yr old who isn't even potty trained yet.  He literally does nothing to help. I ask him to change a diaper and he will  straight up tell me no, not my job. I can be in the middle of 35 things and he still won't do it. If my son poops he tells him go tell mommy to change your diaper... And he's a slob at that, I clean and he makes a mess. I'm so frustrated and nervous about having this baby bc I know I'm not gonna get any help. Also having a csection, I know he's not gonna wake up at night. Ugh 😞

I feel the same way.  My boyfriend in a nutshell told me I'm useless.  I don't do enough.  We're moving and I'm cleaning the new place, taking care of my 4 year old son and working 40+ hours a week. At that on no sleep because i can't get comfortable. Thankfully i got to escape him for a couple days and I'm staying at the new place while he's at the old place.
