I’m exhausted and hanging on by a thread 😣

Before corona virus, I cooked maybe 3 times a week... this cooking every meal every day is killing me.

I just became a stay at home mom in February (husband got a great promotion plus I’m having pregnancy complications so it made sense to quit) and I’m still getting used to being home all the time. Truthfully, I love having the opportunity to stay home but realistically... sometimes it sucks. It’s a lot of work and by the time my husband gets home the house looks the same as when he left except I’ve cleaned it 3 times just for it to be destroyed again 🙄 I feel like he thinks I have it sooo easy, and that drives me insane. He doesn’t expect the house to be in tip top shape or has never been rude about it, but his ass sure doesn’t help when he gets home! I know he is the sole provider and he’s tired when he gets home... but damn. When he gets home I allow him to relax, I have dinner ready, he doesn’t have to change diapers, help with the night time routine or anything. I feel like I deserve a break after a long hard day too, but I go go go 24/7. I’m 31 weeks pregnant and tasks are getting harder to complete so he’s just going to be tired I guess because mama needs help. 😆

He absolutely needs to help out. Even if he is the sole provider. He is the father of your children and it’s his responsibility to help care for them! I get coming home and being tired, but you’ve been working all day too! Caring for children, cooking/cleaning is the equivalent of a full time job, you’re just not getting paid for what you do! And you’re 31 weeks pregnant! Talk to him. You shouldn’t be feeling so overwhelmed! ❤️❤️❤️

Girl, you deserve a break sometimes! And being a stay at home mommy is one of the most tasking jobs with no breaks and little appreciation. Hang in there, you’re doing great💛

But you are having another baby? Wouldn’t that make your life even more exhausting if he’s not helping much with the one baby?

It wouldn't hurt to communicate your feelings to him. Be open about how you are feeling, lately and try to come up with a routine to ease the load off you.Stay Strong. God's got you
