need to vent, really frustrated and stressed.

I feel Luke there's a lot on my shoulders and I just wanna scream. I work morning (7am-3pm) at a gas station on the mass pike. After working I go home and take care of my 3 year old and 3 cats that aren't even a year old yet, I have to clean the house and take care of the dishes (that's my husband's house chore) keep in mind in 17 weeks pregnant. Then after a long and tiring day I have to pick my husband up at work for 11 pm so I don't get home till 12am. That leaves me with 5 hrs of sleep and that's not even 5 hrs strait. I wake up many times in the night. I am beyond stressed and done with all of this. I have to keep reminding my husband that we have bills to pay so don't so end your money on stupid crap. I'm just so done!

There's nothing wrong with wic or food stamps and not all people are fortunate so yeah they do have to get food stamps and wic which is ok because I get it. But if both of you are Working and making some type of good income you will not be able to get has much assistance because you are working and so is your husband

I mean you work too and already a mother, that still doesn't give you an excuse. He should be more understanding I mean I know guys take a little longer to get involved at times but you're working full time and a full time mom

Have you considered getting wic? I know people despise it but if you guys are struggling with money it really helps. I didn't want too but my mom talked me into it, I felt embarrassed but it literally saves us at least 60-80 dollars a month. And once the baby is born you get free formula and that alone is 60 dollars a week. You should consider it. Or maybe have your Bf move his schedule around. In your second trimester you should be getting as much rest As you can

Maybe he can switch his schedule around? You're doing way too much.

My family is an hr away beside my mom but she is busy with my little brother. We have a baby sitter but I don't have the money to have him watch ny son all the time but that doesn't solve my other problems
