scared and stressed

Im 33+6 wks and a first time mom. I go to school full time and have a 1 1/2 hour long drive each way back and forth to school. I just started working my first ever job yesterday and am basically full time- working 10 hours this weekend and 36 hours next week. I live at my husbands grandparents home. His nanny took me in about 1 1/2 years ago but passed away in Dec. She was my rock. Now his papa is staying in Texas (I live in sc) for a few months with his daughter and I am responsible for all the utilities on top of getting everything we need for the baby still(which is a good amount). Im the only one who works making minimum wage and his 18 year old cousin lives with us and eats everything and doesn't help around the house at all. And if I say anything to him he whines to his mother (who refuses to take care of him- and has for years) and she threatens to kick us out because papa gave her the right to decide that.  And on top of that I have to help take car of my brother and all my dads pets because he is out if state working. I honestly can't handle this and dont know what to do anymore..

I dont know what I need honestly. All I do is cry. And he does what he can to help around the house but can't find a job where we live. He even drives me to and from school if im too tired in the mornings. I just dont know how much more I can handle

I read it, I just don't know what you want. Advice? Consolation? Sympathy? Or just an ear to hear you?
