I'm pregnant with 3rd baby, just found out a week or so ago..
I have 2 daughters with him ages 4 and 2..
He has 2 children from a previous marriage ages 8 & 12
He has his other children every other weekend from early Saturday morning to 7-30 at night on Sunday! Then sometimes sees them on his weekends in between...
He works very long un sociable hours which I respect and appreciate but I, thinking.. What about me???
Me and my daughters are home on our own most days and I love having them they're my best friends and were so close! I have great routines for them and do school run every morning which is great!
When our youngest wakes up at 7am (which is a good time) he covers his ears so he can't hear the noise, weather he's been working late or not! If he's here in the evening which is rare, and our youngest wakes up, he lets her come down stairs where as I always put her back to bed to give her the message of bedtime.. He completely gives the wrong messages!! And the opposite if what I'm trying to achieve. It breaks me and makes me upset. I'm the one bringing them up 24-7 (I do love it) so I want my ways respecting and him joining with me!
On top of that, on the weekends is children come, I cook all the kids, me and him our dinners, keep the house tidy and pick up after everybody all weekend, do the food shop on my own with our daughters and to be honest I'm feeling so emotional. I just want to cry, I'm not a robot I'm. Human being and I'm not super woman!! We only have a small 2 bedroom house so his children sleep on the sofa when they come which I HATE because its so dossy and messy!! :( they don't go home till late when I want the girls settled nd in bed, when this baby comes in the summer... I really a, not going to want hectic long weekends with a house full.. And when I'm heavil pregnant. I want to be thought of more! I don't need it all at the minute it's too much. When I cry he says what you crying for now? ??? When I just want a hug and be listened to!!!
I smile everyday to the world and for my beautiful girls but inside I just wana sit and sob!! I know it's my hormones but surely it shouldn't be like this it should be my time now to be looked after a bit? And am I being selfish about how it is when his children are here...
Any advise or ladies feeling the same would be very appreciated! X
