Rant Post!!!

My husband has been getting overwhelmed by me and the kids lately. I’m 36 weeks pregnant and we have a 4 & 2 year old together. I stay at home now due to no childcare and he works full time, so I completely understand that he’s stressed out being the bread winner.

What bothers me is on the days he’s home he is raising his voice at the kids as they run and play. Saying “they stomp too loud” or “don’t know how to chill out. He even just said that if I don’t start parenting the way he does then they will be even bigger shits then they are now… my kids are not little shits! For only being 4 & 2 they are actually very well behaved and advanced for their ages so I have no idea why hed say something like that about them. We get compliments all the time about how good they are.

Today I had enough, everything they did he was yelling at them to stop or sit down and chill out. First off, they are children and need to run/ play off some energy and second, how do you expect them to actually sit down for that long??? I get disciplining them but he was taking it too far, and I started to get a headache and contractions from the stress.

I asked him to leave the house and go for a drive, I told him it was obvious that he was overwhelmed. And of course he has to turn around and ask “am I a bad father for trying to get them to listen?” And just making me feel worse about the whole situation. I could feel us almost arguing before he actually decided to leave!

I’m very pregnant and tired, I need him to be able to handle 2 wild kids and a newborn in a few weeks. When he gets overwhelmed, everyone is tucking their tails and hiding from him. I stay home with the kids 24/7, if only he knew what it was like to truly be overwhelmed by these kids. He has no idea!!!
