Feeling Overwhelmed

I'm 28 wks and have a 9 yrs old and a 5 yrs old. I work full time and so does my husband but I feel like I need a break. I do everything in the house from cooking, cleaning, laundry etc...... I feel so upset with my husband because I need help. I am trying to get the house ready for the baby but my husband is not helping. I'm praying for God to help me keep my cool because I'm about to lose it.

do you have friends and family you could ask to help? find a time to sit down with your hubby and tell him you dont want to find fault with him but you really do need more help. then make a schedule because you both work full time. you can take turns with the chores. your children are old enough to help too. i was told by an older parent that if i dont teach my children to help around the house with set chores than i am doing them a disservice. I have 6 children and am pregnant with my 7th. i feel very overwelmed too but i am a stay at home mom so i have more time at home. my oldest is 10 and the 4 oldest all have chores everyday. good luck and congrats on your pregnancy.

I'm with ya! My husband is pretty goof about helping with dinner but laundry is lightyears behind and I feel like I should hire a maid before this kid gets here so I won't be so stressed!
