Emotional punch bag

My husband said I use him as an emotional punch bag, that I'm negative and that he can't deal with me crying 'hysterically'. He moved out last week because of these. He's back now.

What is an emotional punch bag? I'm only negative and open up to him because he's my best friend and I put a brave face on to everyone else some days. It's not like it's constant. All the child care is on me. He works and works away each week for a couple of days. He doesn't do anything in the nights. I'm tired and lonely. I've cried 'hysterically' a few times, when my son was born, I was really struggling with hormones and breast-feeding and a couple of times in the night when I've been trying to get the baby to sleep for 5ish hours with no help. But I cry for max a few mins and then carry on.

I really needed my mum through all of it but she had a heart attack a week after my baby was born and he's my first. My grandad died yesterday and I have to pretend I'm ok. My husband hasn't even hugged me or anything this morning, just came over to kiss the baby 💔

I think it feels more lonely being with him.

How do I carry on here?

NHS job

Anyone work for the NHS and does 12 hour shifts? How do you work around childcare and your partners job?

He has no respect for anything to do with me.

Husband and I decided to separate 3 days ago. I've been sleeping on the floor in the kids room, and we both have to stay in the same apartment for a while. He wont stop pushing little things and I am reaching my limit. Photos in comments

Toddlers

How often are your toddlers asking for food? My oldest who is 3 just finished a whole plate of food and not even 10 minutes later he’s requesting more food. I know he’s going through a growth spurt, but how do you respond to this.

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Identity crisis?

Am I the only sahm who feels like they have lost their identity??? I don’t make money for my family, when I used to make great money. But I refuse to drop my under a year old baby off with strangers.
My husband works so much. But I have no control over bringing in money and I’m a control freak type of person! I feel l like I’m losing my grip because we are kind of broke, but day care would only eat up my income anyways! So what’s the point. I’m a workaholic and now I’m just a twitching bum.
I wish I could work from home but so far that’s a fake dream. I’m almost 9 months pp, and I just need to know these awful mood swings and depression will end soon! Send wine!
