Unhelpful support system?

Why don’t you do this as a profession? :D

Good for you getting the work done yourself!! 💚💚💚 I actually painted our front porch the day before I went into labor so I can somewhat relate ha.

My question for you is, did you ask/invite people to help you and they turned you down?

I totally agree with you. If they dont want to be there for you when youre physically not at your best since youre pregnant, they dont deserve to be there for the baby because they want to hold and play with a baby.

Thankkyouu it was a big relief off my back& baby said "you're having too much fun out there without me "🤣🤣🤣. its about 10x more rewarding when you achieve something while pregnant!!

and to answer your question,
when I began the project I announced that I’d need help with clearing out the room, taking up the carpet & painting and laying the floor.. some said they’d be available in the summer (I laughed because baby is due May) and some said no problem. When it came to asking for help for the clearing of the room everybody had different obligations to do that week & when it came to the painting, likewise.. I stopped asking after the painting.

Through out the project I just get questions like "did you finish the room yet" "did you start buying stuff for the room yet" "when do you think you're going to finish" "did you finish the floor yet"

so they have no problem keeping up with what im doing.. yet can lend no hands & it has absolutely rubbed me wrong

Sorry for the paragraph 🤣🤣

and those are my thoughts exactly. I would rather have no support system than an imaginary support system because I’d feel terrible if I didn’t help nor support with anything but then turned up to see baby.
