Married but feeling like a single parents especially when on edge
I didn't sleep well last night.. made my daughter lunch after she got out of school and was just feeling so tired and in edge. Called my husband that I needed help that I needed him to take her to get ice cream. She wouldn't stop asking for ice cream even after I told her no because I just didn't feel good to go. I already had taken her to get ice cream this week. Well, I lose my temper when I'm on the phone with me.. instead of reassuring me that he will help.. he matched my energy.. started giving me attitude himself and yelled. When to the store to get my daughter ice cream and he comes and starts arguing with me at the store. I tried to hold my composure, but I couldn't. He left to park because he doesn't want to come home because I'm arguing.. when I'm still feeling on edge, and here I am at home with my daughter still watching her and never getting a break. I feel like a single parent. I can't even rely on her father for help. I am just ready for this day to be over 😔

One thing I have realised is that men are just as emotional as women 😂. When he comes home allow him to settle down and when he is relaxed, calmly tell him how you are feeling. Don’t even address the argument before just tell him you need more help. And suggest things for him to do to take the pressure off of you. Hopefully it will turn into a positive conversation where you both feel heard. Good luck 🤞🏾
@Abella he does help if I ask.. yesterday, I was just so down and felt like I was having an emotional break down
No worries! Sometimes we just need to vent. You got this keep your head up, you’re doing great 👍🏾
It's probably the fact that's she's sick of asking for help. I know with my husband I get sick of it quick.
