rant!! just need someone to listen :/

I'm beyond irritated!! I am 12 weeks pregnant with our 3rd baby together,(my fourth).  I am working 60 plus hours a week at a refrigerated warehouse. Only off on Sundays. My boyfriend stays home with the kids while I work. When I get home every night I still have to get dinner together, served and put away plus bathing the kids and getting them to bed. I'm beyond exhausted. So tonight I was going to bed early. I left him to get the kids in bed. Well he got all,mad telling me I'm not staying up with them by myself!! Ugh!!! I'm just over my limit with dealing with all this. I just feel I work lots of hours every week and shouldn't have to clean, cook dinner and everything else too every single night :/ sorry so long I just had to vent and don't have many friends to talk to. Sorry

There have been studies done about the women being the bread winner while the man stays home as caregiver. It could be a part of that. I'm not making excuses for him by any means. I think it's worth a conversation with him. He also needs to remember that your hormone levels are through the roof and will be this way for another 28 weeks! Good luck!!

Don't stress too much, stress isn't good for you or your baby...try to sit him down and talk with him and explain how you feel and hopefully he will be open and understand how you feel... I hope things get better :)

That's my point exactly. I don't mind helping out at all! When it was the other way around 3 years ago I did it all and he worked. I just don't get y its so different know that I'm working. I even got up at 2am when he got off work to cook him a hot meal. I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm stressed out and about to go over the edge. :/thank u ladies for the support. :) I greatly appreciate it

I'm a stay at home mom. So my JOB is to cook, clean, take care of the kids & my hubby. Why should it be any different for him?! Now, yes, my hubby is the type to chip in where he can. And if I'm not doing well, he picks up the slack. But, it's my responsibility as the stay at home parent. I've been a single parent. Not interested again.

That's a bunch of bullsh*t. If you are working and supporting him and he's home then that's his job to do the cooking and cleaning along with watching the kids. Yeah you should do some still but the majority of it should be his responsibility. What does he think a stay at home parent does?
