I feel like I'm constantly doing everything.. I don't know how it's like for you mums but I literally don't get time for myself.
My husband is self employed and most days is in and out of the house but when he's a home it's feels like I'm looking after 2 babies..
I wake up with our son, change his feed him everything. Then my husband wakes up and I make him breakfast, then I put the little one to sleep. In between that I'm doing things and he's up again.
Some days I'm up at 10pm making food because I don't like cooking whilst bay is awake, as the kitchen is in the main house.
In between this, I'm juggling everything doing the washing, cleaning, organising EVERYTHING. I do enjoy doing these things but little help would be appreciated. For example little things annoy me leaving the empty toilet roll or putting his clothes on top of the washing basket, leaving cups everywhere
There's been a load of laundry folded in the Basket I have not had time to put it away and he doesn't even think to put it away. Unless I get really annoyed he does it but why do I keep having to ask for help
I get it he works hard, but then he will sit there on his phone, during that time im sure he can do little things.
I know it's a lot of me aswel as I'm particular and like to go bed with a clean house so Im up organising everything but I'm getting really exhausted.
It really annoys me I'll mop and then he will walk in with his shoes or leave things everywhere atleast if he cleans up after him self it takes a load of me and I can actually enjoy the time with baby rather than thinking of all the things to do..
Anyone else going through the same thing?

He definitely needs to help out more. It is his baby too. Sorry you’re going through this, your burn out for sure. How old is your baby? & maybe tell him this as you said in the post. You just got to work as a team to be better parents. But yeah, not good enough as he needs to be taking the load of you to make things ease. If he knows he wanted to have a baby with you, he should respect you too. 😊
