I have become a SAHM 3 months ago. I was working full-time. But working, looking after my 5 year old was taking a toll on our relationship so the OH said that as he earns enough to support us both that I should become a SAHM and he'll give me money every month for food shopping ect. So I left my job and now he isn't supporting me. I've been using my savings so far and now I'm down to pennies. To make matters worse he has been making comments all the time calling me lazy and useless, and when confronted about it he says he's just "joking". Im doing the best I can around the house, but I'm struggling especially with homeschooling on top of all of the housework. I'm 15 weeks pregnant and I'm no longer fitting in my clothes and I can't afford to get any. I have tried looking for work but I can't find anything due to being pregnant. Everytime i confront my OH about these issues he makes out that I should be grateful because I don't have to go to work and that there is lots of people in 3rd world countries with nothing. Is there any other SAHM who feels this way or went through this? I really need advice on what to do.
