Venting

My husband is an over the road truck driver and I am a stay at home of 4 children, 2 autistic children. I’ve been a stay at home for years and I wanted to pursue my career and my husband doesn’t want me to pursue my career at all. He’s always worried about himself. I cry to him about me being stressed out and he always somehow flip it on himself. I have so much going on mentally and physically. I’m in school virtually and I’m trying to get my CDL’s and nobody helps so I had to push trucking school back. I don’t have a support system or anything. I’ve been diagnosed with anxiety, depression, autism, adhd, hyperthyroidism and everything. He gets mad at me and takes money from me when he’s supposed to be a provider and that’s why I would rather work instead of feeling like I need to rely on him because he’s the type of man who gets the big head and controls everything. I’ve came to him about me having mental breakdowns and on the verge of losing my sanity and he doesn’t seem concerned or care. I have to do everything by myself and it’s stressful along with caring for our dogs. When I cry every other day in misery because I’ve never gotten a break at all. Even when he gets off the road, I’m still helping him. Out of 9 years, I only had 3 days to myself for a break and that’s not healthy at all. It’s a lot and I am so overwhelmed and drained. I don’t want to do nothing that I will regret.

Sleeping bag

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
