Overwhelmed

At this point I feel like a single parent. My significant other helps very little. I’m the one who clothes her, change her diaper, feeds her, puts her to bed…he complains he works 10 hours a day to support us and I understand that but I’m screaming for freaking help sometimes. I’m 18 weeks pregnant with our second baby and I handle our daughter 24/7 while he gets to sleep, play his game and go freaking smoke MJ. I feel so stressed, overwhelmed, overstimulated and exhausted. Am I a horrible person to ask for a little help from him??? He makes me feel horrible for even asking him for help or to even watch her for 20 minutes so I can get a damn shower…..I’m so so freaking lost and tired….i feel like nothing is going to change when I have our next baby in August…..

Is it normal or common for 10 year olds to engage in sexual activities?

I just read this in a comment section and I’m flabbergasted. Is this a common thing?

I need a new vacuum! Please tell me what to get!

I’ve had a shark vacuum for 6 years, but it finally broke. I’ve been reading reviews on different ones, and they aren’t very good. What vacuum do you have?!
I have hardwood floors, and two dogs. So it needs to be pet hair friendly. Thanks. ☺️

Irritated

Am I the only mom who gets irritated slightly when their partner leaves them with the baby? It’s like dang having that freedom to just get up and go whenever you want must be nice. And my partner doesn’t leave the house often so I understand his need to get out I need to get out too but he doesn’t have to worry about the baby or the weather or anything else when he wants to get out. I have to consider so much just to even go outside I’m kinda jealous not gonna lie but I don’t want to get upset at him either everytime he leaves. Anybody else deal with this?

Do your kids play in the toilet?

I have a 3 and 4 year old (boys)They love to play in the toilet. The 4 year old goes to the potty himself just whenever he has to pee. So he went and peed usually he pees and then he comes right out. He didn’t this time so I went over to the bathroom to see what was going on. Him and my 3 year old were playing in the toilet after my son peed and the 4 year old had his hands in his mouth. I’m so grossed out. Anyone one else kids do this or are my kids just weird?
