Should I respect his wishes??

I’ve been a SAHM for 4 years now and my husband does a great job providing for our family and we never need for anything. With that i still had to sacrifice some wants like shopping when I want getting my hair and nails done regularly so when I can I try to supplement for my wants and savings by selling my craft items at vendor markets and recently I’ve started donating plasma. Which has been consistent income for me. $125 twice a week. Well my husband has expressed that he doesn’t like me donating plasma. He feels like it’s not worth it to put my body through those conditions for $125. He even went out to sell one of his guns today and gave me all the money and told me “I shouldn’t have to donate plasma no more”. That was so sweet but I disagree. I planned on continuing to donate plasma to save for my kids birthdays thats coming up, a trip we have planned and our anniversary. I don’t know what to do. I finally found something that pays something consistently and my husband is against it. What should I do?

What would yall do?

So a few days ago, I told my husband that we needed to separate because him not very participating in house chores him not giving you know the kids and my attention when he gets home. He’s always on his phone and him yelling at the kids all the time. He is now changing for the most part but he has done this before. We were going to do IVF I have all the medications. Should I keep them or just get rid of them ? I’m not sure what to do

Imposter syndrome

Hi all. Just looking for a little encouragement or even for someone to relate. I have a middle school aged kiddo, a 4 year old and a 2 month old. I am freshly stay at home. And let’s not forget 2 months postpartum lol I feel like an imposter being at home with my kids. My two month old has a yeast infection that’s bothering her a lot, my 4 year old is attention starved and then my middle schooler comes home and gets frustrated by not having more time with me specifically. (We had some hospital stays for my 4 year old the last 2 months, plus me being postpartum/exhausted and now a clingy, hurting baby) I feel like an imposter thinking I could handle 3 kids. I feel split in 3- Nevermind not having anything left at the end of the day for my husband or myself. My house is a disaster (yes, I know this can wait, but it’s so overwhelming and not helping my mental chaos) my four year old is getting addicted to tv, my milk stash is almost gone from my husband taking a night feed for me and not having even a second to pump. How do you balance multiple kids, quality pumping time, cleaning, cooking, etc?! I can’t even get time to eat, let alone shower. Is this temporary?? Is this postpartum?? I can’t just let my 2month old cry- I have a physical reaction to it so she’s attached to me constantly but my 4 year old needs me. I’m sure park time would help but I need to pump! What the heck is this life lol I’m at my wits end.

SAHM

Anybody else’s partner downplays being a stay at home mom. And I quote he said “I don’t do nothing all day but take care of our baby and that’s easy.” mind you this is a man that will wake me up if the baby is fussy for 2 hours because he’s overwhelmed and doesn’t know what to do. How do I make him see that taking care of the house having dinner ready and of course being the best mom I can is all overwhelming and a 24/7 job?
