So tired sometimes I feel like Im not pulling my weight...

Hubs is great, he just got a promotion and a nice raise. Im so proud of him. He works all day in the cold and still has a smile for his family when he comes home. I feel like such a baby. I picked up a seasonal job at a call center to help out for Christmas and m studying for my cdl b. So I can have a better,steadier income after the baby is born.
Being 22 weeks,having 2 kids,After studying in between phone calls where crazy old ladies take it out on me that we didn't have her size or color,after I pick kids up,run errands...get home I don't even want to get out of the chair. I work part time. He works 40+ hrs. He helped me today with housework that I didn't do throughout the week. I felt really bad I couldn't handle it.
Im used to being able to do it all. I feel defeated. I really hate this seasonal job. If it weren't temporary I'd be looking for another lol
I feel like Im being a big baby...
He works outside,all day..rain or shine. We're in new England... it gets COLD here!

Idk Anyone else come to the realization that they're not perfect? Lol or maybe have a hard time admitting they need help from time to time? This is a really weird question,I know. I hope I made my point ok. I just feel like baby #3 isn't even here yet and I feel so defeated! Tell me Ill get the hang of it!

Yeah my house got grungy for a while lol. I was like omg...we have a kitchen table. For a while I was thinking it was just a heap of unfolded laundry and junk mail lol
Same thing happened when the jackets all got hung up on hooks.... hadn't seen the back of my chairs in weeks lol
Glad to know it wasn't just me haha

Glad I could make you laugh.. And guess what, I still didn't get my house cleaned today... I'm planning on calling the fabreeze people tomorrow and scheduling them to come out. I'm sure they would pay me to film in my house for their commercial. At least I would be contributing then! HAHAHA

Hey human grower....quit beating yourself up :) Sounds like if your husband comes home happt and smiling you have a winner. He loves you so much that he is happy to be able to provide and keep the lights on. Work the best you can and on those dys you feel "lazy" do something simple like put a little love note in his wallet or order a nice dinner for pick up when he gets home. Keep it simple but loving. I am sure he will appreciate it and you wont feel so bad.

I worked in a call center for over 3 years and I know how awful it can be. It might not be a physical job but I know after several hours it is so mentally draining that it exhausts you. Do your best, and remember it's only temporary. I'm kinda in the same situation myself but I'm trying to as much as possible now bc I know after my c-section I won't be up to doing much and it makes me feel bad, but I have no choice and I know my family understands that.

You are doing great! This is my third pregnancy as well, but I don't work.. so you're already less of a bum than me, lol. I'm behind on laundry, I'm always lying around, and I'm always trying to convince myself to get my butt up and do something (rarely works, btw).  If I don't make myself clean my house today, you better believe my house is the next one on those fabreeze commercials where they walk those blindfolded people through the dirty house.. "Wow, Fabreeze really does work" LOL. Ughh, soo not looking forward to it..
But my hubby understands, after I tell him that I would be more than welcome for him to take over the task of actually creating a life force! He's great, though.. I loves him, haha.
Good luck! You'll get the hang of it! ;)

You are growing a child!  That alone is exhausting.  I am sure hubby does not mind helping out after work.

Hi lady! Listen... Every pregnancy is different! I've had 4 kids, and with my last pregnancy I went through the same thing. I felt horrendously guilty for feeling so tired and unable to keep up! I felt worse because my older children seemed compelled to help me make meals etc. And they were only 8 & 6... But I realized that maybe we were given more strength the first time because help wasn't available to us at that time, but now, being a little older and not as energetic, we can begin to appreciate that we aren't super women and its ok to see ourselves as simply human. Remember that family is supposed to help out when the need arises! If our hubby was the one carrying the baby, we would be treating him like a king, right? Lol... Give yourself peace about this, love... Its all good!!:-D

Hey not related to your post but just realized you are really close to me! I'm down in keene nh! I'm not prego anymore but I still frequent this site all the time!

[Treksy]

Woah, you totally have an excuse more than I do! Lol I hope you're feeling ok now

I can def relate but too a certain degree. I don't have any kids but before I got pregnant i did laundry,  grocery shopping, finances, cleaned the house, made dinner u name it I did it! And I loved doing it. But around 8weeks I was diagnosed with herniated disks it was horrible. Was on bed rest for 6weeks and still not recovered.  I'm 18weeks and still very limited,  my hubby has beem great! He literally does everything!  Even scolds me when I go to get my own drink of water! I had to argue with him yesterday to do a load of laundry by myself! Its our first baby n he's really scared of a relapse (I couldn't even move my legs). Its hard not to be able to do the things I want/need to do, either too tired, to sick,  can't lift more than 8 lbs,  too much pain in my back.  It *****.
