I am confused? You need the help cause hubby is away and you have two kids? But your struggling cause you dont wanna move back in with dad??I dont know the full story but moving back home is a tough step... I mean maybe when baby is newborn it makes sense for a few weeks while you heal... but after that I dont see why you need to move... many people have two kids and in similar situations Perhaps looking at different ways you can accept help so you dont have to move- dad moves in with you for a short period - dad takes 3 year old every other Saturday so you have a break - hire a cleaning service to help you clean up - gets friends to babysit- join mommy groups where u swap babysitting etc - time mange and get 3 yr old to help with cleaning, or structure the day so you so something everyday- when.hubby is home get him to help - maybe hubby needs new job!.You can do this mamma! If you dont wanna move dont... where there is a will there is a way
Moving back in with my Dad.
On one hand, I don't really want to. My partner doesn't get to see us much because of his job, and this will just mean that he sees us even less. On the other hand, because of my partners job, I'll get more help at my Dads. I'm really struggling. I don't really have any other options. I know my Dad will help me with my 3 year old, and my 3 year old absolutely adores my Dad. I'm thinking I could still go home on the weekends to spend that time with my partner, but it had me in tears when I spoke to my partner about it because I just feel so useless. I've never needed this much help with anything before. I know it would only be a temporary thing, but I still need to finish cleaning my house so that baby has a clean home to come back to after he's born, I just don't know how I'm meant to get it done 😣

I like the suggestions in the previous comment. There are just other things you can try before you move back home? It’s just the person I am and my opinion, but moving back home would be the last thing I wanted to do. Also I have lots of stairs I have to go up before I get to my place and it’s exhausting. I’m 35 weeks now! My partner is currently on 12 hour shifts in another country.. so I don’t see him and barley talk to him now! This is also our first so I wouldn’t know about handling the other children. You can do this.

Ah, yeah. Maybe I should have been more clear lol After baby arrives my Mum is going to come and help out a little bit, and my MIL has a week off work leading up to my due date. I've spoken to my Dad and he's said I can stay and if I want to go home at any point, just let him know.

Oh well that makes more sense... I thought you were more talking about after baby arrives. Dont be afraid to ask for help... only 6 weeks left...
Is there no room for you dad to stay with you instead?

Ok I see. Well love do what you have to do for your sanity & health. If that means not being able to see your SO as often it’s a sacrifice you guys can mutually make, than do it. Maybe he can come over there before heading home just to say hey. Hope everything works out.❤️

At his, there's a spare bed. At mine, he'd have to sleep on the sofa. I also have a flight of stairs to get up before I can get in my house, and have quite bad SPD. I've spoken to my Dad and he's said I can, and if at any point I want to go home just to let him know.
