Oh, and I would also recommend working towards getting your own place too.  I've never known anyone who's truly happy living with one of the partner's parents.  It's awkward, and there always seems to be that underlying tension.

While I agree that no one needs to be yelling at you, I DO feel that if you're not working, and your BF is, then the VAST majority of the nighttime baby care should fall on you.  There's nothing wrong with trying to have a civil conversation with him though, telling him how you feel, and that when he gets home from work, or on his day off, it would be SO appreciated if he would help out with the baby a little more.

I would also recommend telling him that your MIL yelling and screaming at you needs to stop.  He needs to have a talk with her.  Hopefully, if you communicate these issues to him, things will change for the better.

Good luck to you!

Can you move out with your parents or any thing? That's really rough she should want to help out and your bf doesn't sound like a very good dad making you do everything

Honestly let him know something has to give. A relationship is a give and take field you have to shake a man up sometimes. It's hard for them to want to come to term wit certain things. Sit him down tell him don't get mad but lately things has been going haywire. I'm not in this by myself. My husband work over night and still find time during the day for me. So don't let him bs u has the time and he needs to start given it.

Oh but that's what he thinks he thinks that bc he works he doesn't have to help take care of our son,at night I know plenty of men that work way longer hours than my boyfriend         but they still come home and help take care of the kids I think he is just being lazy idk I have tried talking to him like adults but it just turns into a fight then that turns into a yelling match I just don't know what to do anymore.

Currently have a mother in law likethat trying to tell me what to do and the baby is not even here yet. I made my husband put her in her place. And everytime I feel her coming towards me funny I put her in her place. I respect my elders but your about to tell me how to raise achild im carrying and breaking my neck for. You have to let your bf know he needs to stand up for you thats his family. Because if you come at his mother he can't get made he should have handled it.

I definitely do not hate my mother in law. But I would let her know it's not necessary to be yelling, you will do what u think is best for your child. Try not to yell back and stay calm. But I also think you are his mom and It seems unfair sometimes, but you are the one to take care of him.. I would Def talk to your bf and let him know he needs to help. He helped make the baby so he can help take care of him so you can get some sleep. Just cause he works doesn't mean he can't help out. That's what being a parent consists of.

Im just so sick and tired of getting yelled at by both of them I cry all,the time but no one cares it's like they don't care about me or my son and they don't give a crap about my feeling and they are basically calling me a bad mom when,he is the bad parent by not doing anything

I feel you're pain , but my mother in law isn't like that. I know how it feels I feel alone when my bf doesn't seem to care of what I feel. I mightn not have my baby yet but I'm 15w1d and I've heard stress can cause a miscarriage.  I told my bf how I felt and he's response was if I loose my kid I'm blaming you and leaving you. It really hurt me. Instead of telling me it's going to be okay I'll help you he threatens me
