Can I vent a little….
I feel so burnt out.. I work from home at a job where I answer phone calls every 3-5 minutes for a total of 9 hours. I’m a stay at home mother and take care of our 2.5 year old, while currently 4 months pregnant and not to mention I am also a student.
My husband takes care of the cooking after work as I barely have time to and have been suffering from some major 1st trimester symptoms. Lately he has been expressing how he feels as though I don’t do much around the house or with our toddler after I get off work, nor spend time with him.
To be honest I am fed up as I feel as though I am doing ALOT. I can’t reduce my hours because my husband works a job with no health benefits and my family and I get benefits through my job. And I have noticed he complains when I’m sleeping after work.
I have just been feeling resentment as I feel I am doing the most and my husband doesn’t even work a job WITH BENEFITS. Sure it pays well, but what if something happened to him. Plus I’m pregnant, why is it a problem when I take a nap.
Thank you for reading my rant, just a tired momma 🥺

I could not imagine taking care of a child during working hours. I have no idea what that would look like. How can anyone do both? It’s not fair on anyone involved and cannot be sustainable surely?
First of all, I’m a stay at home mom, I don’t work so I stay home and care for our almost 3 year old and my 1 month old. I do what I can and try to make dinner but some nights I do not because I am tired. My priority is my children. You ma’am are not a stay at home mom, you are a work from home mom who also cares for her child, that is A LOT! and you’re pregnant. You are doing A LOT, so give yourself grace, and maybe if possible have a calm conversation with your hubby. I can’t imagine working from home with my toddler 😩😳

He needs to find a better job ohoh Let me explain my reasoning. You are burnt out, you work from home, you don't have time for them let alone for selfcare. Try telling him you need to reduce your hours. Blame your doctor. Tell him you would like that to be effective before baby #2 arrives. Then you can work less hours, maybe 6 hours daily. Idk how you do it. My husband use to let our 2 yo watch tv all morning when he worked from home. I hated that.
