To have four kids is a lot to have an unhelpful partner is worse then add pets to it girlllll. Didn’t you’d too and think this would get out of hand? ❤️
It's not your fault. The boyfriend should manage meals if you're nursing and pumping and also bring you plates to eat with one hand so already cut up. I can't advise on older kids but maybe some other mums or family can advise how to get them in line?
Hey, I was an actual zookeeper before becoming a mom and let me tell you… I only have 1 kid right now but cleaning animal shit nonstop, dealing with the work stress and physical labor is 100% easier than being a mom! I started deep cleaning my house and realized the zoo is probably cleaner 🤦🏼♀️ you should be proud of yourself for even managing to keep your head up at all! I cannot imagine how you’re feeling but just know you’re a fucking power house! Moms (especially with multiples) are the strongest people I have ever met and I have no idea how you do it! I would start demanding more help from your partner, something will have to change for the sake of your own well being! Force him to watch the kids while you have some “me” time!
You are doing the best you can, and that's amazing. You have a ton of moving parts. More moving parts make it harder to navigate. My advice would be to take things one task at a time and talk with your provider. If they are like places I've been, they should have a ppd social group thing that could help find people in your area who can relate and help each other through these times. You are strong. You are heard. You are loved. You are amazing. Please talk with your provider they can help.
