Wow, I’m amazed you do all that on you’re own! And you’re still with your hubby. I hope things have changed for you now

Goodness me, reading your overly jam packed days, I dont think you’re whinging at all. I think you truly deserve to complain. Can’t hubby catch the bus? He should stop least be helping out around the house more, with the kids. A learning difficulty doesn’t cancel him out of life altogether. Maybe if some of the workload, the pressure load, your relationship might improve. Then again, maybe it’s over and you just need to decide to pull the plug

nice to read stories on this great site

You sound like an amazing mother! Mouth of mums is a great place to vent. I hope things are getting better for you. Do you have any other family support? Is the bus an option for hubby to take to work which may save you dropping him off and picking him up?

this story is good

Yes – we do all need an outlet! I love that we can come here to MoMs and safely vent and also know we are not alone!

So sorry this sounds so overwhelming. I dont blame u at all for being upset and annoyed.
I think you should really sit down with him and explain you are just exhausted and can not do it anymore. He needs to help too and share in the chores.
It is his household as well.
Sometimes it helps to have a vent.
Good luck

You mentioned your husband has a learning disabilitity & that could affect his ability to focus on ways he could help you around the house. Try giving him a simple list of things to do that can reduce your work load even if you have to show him how to do it at first. Fortunately the babies will grow up & your sleep will improve but you need a bit of ME time also. Good Luck!

  Good point! Maybe hubby needs it spelled out to him in CAPITAL LETTERS!

Oh you poor thing. I thought my hubby was like another child – until I read your story. I feel for you. Maybe at the end of each day take some time out for yourself – and read a good book or just listen to the radio?

Wow you have every right to vent, time to let the hubby now what is going on is not ok. Good luck with that and please take care off yourself

You sound exhausted which can make the situation even more overwhelming. Can you give your husband specific, consistent tasks to help you lighten your load?

Absolutely, have a whinge, but this sounds like a situation that needs to change. Perhaps marital counselling would wake him up a bit?

Definitely talk to your husband. My fiance at times does make it feel like I also have a third child. I find that talking to him about it does help, asking for help (because as he tells me he can’t read minds) and cooperating to get tasks done. Speak to him about getting a drivers licence stating the benefits like he can drive himself to work and also drop your oldest son off to daycare. If he won’t maybe get him to consider a bicycle. It can be an economic way of getting around and doesn’t require a licence. Most importantly don’t bottle up all your feelings until you reach breaking point as it won’t do anyone any good. Good luck

you should talk to your hubby and ask for a little help. sometimes you need to remind them that you never get to knock off your job and any help is appreciated.
