Anybody experienced parental burnout or similar?

[Zazii]

I have a 3y old child, work full time for financial reasons and often feel overwhelmed. I tried many many times to get my husband to do his share/more - I gave up and decided to spare the arguments, I still feel overwhelmed, mostly over weekends, I do not get more than 15min for myself during the day, my LO is a bad sleeper/eater. I feel constantly worn out. And yet, I would like to have another child, mostly because I would like my son to have a buddy. And I am angry at myself to consider having another kid while I feel like I hardly manage. Not sure if anything to do with burnout or feeling too responsible. I would welcome similar experiences. Thanks

Are you thinking of staying with your Partner @Zazii?

I would like to have a second child, one of the main reasons is to give a buddy to my little one.
I'm 40, work full time at the moment, a semi lazy husband that makes me resentful eventhough he is a great man. And I'm stressed at the moment. Yet, I really would like a second child. What are your thoughts?

I think you're mad and you already have a child and a manchild. You do not need another. Get a puppy. Only children don't always get on with their siblings. You have enough on your plate. If you are burnt out and resentful now then another baby won't fix that. Now ask me how I know.

I think you should have a second baby when you find a man who'll step up and treat both of you like adults.

So not yet or not with him.

Understand the urge tho at 40, knowing there's not time to start again and if you're doing it all now why not with an extra one

But you really need to talk to your feckless husband and see of he loves you enough or he's just too lazy to walk away

Assuming your husband is of similar age, if he hasn't grown up by now, he never will.
