Hello all I'm sorry but just need a place to rant as I have no one to go to that will just let me say what I want to say

I have 2 children 8 an 6 and currently 12 weeks pregnant me an the other half are not getting on at all right now my other two children are being hard work atm I'm constantly tired drained from working to running around after my children and the arguments with him I feel like I'm already a mother to 3 and not 2 I have a heart condition and my thyroid doesn't work no more so it's a very Tireing pregnancy already from the illnesses I have let alone the problems at home I haven't got a supportive mother as she's not happy about the pregnancy and my dad doesn't live local any more I have a few friends but all I get told is get rid of him but it's not that easy I do love him and want my family to work
Sorry for the essay I'm just mentally and physically drained

Hi there. I didn’t want to read and run. I kinda know where you’re coming from on the tired front, juggling work and other kids and not having a supportive mum. I don’t think my mum will be happy when she knows I am. I’m only 6+3 so not saying anything yet but I’m too scared to.

I’m sorry things are not good with your OH. That’s not going to be making things easier on you 🙁 xx

I have 3 kids, 8,5 and 2. It's very very hard work and was a massive jump from 2 to 3. I've also just gone through a separation from their dad. It's been the most tiring and stressful 6 months of my life and I sometimes wish I'd plucked up the courage to leave years ago although I do love my children very much and wouldn't change them for the world. It's just very very hard going through it all. You need to decide if you can really make you're relationship a happy one for the long term or not because if it's not happy the kids will be affected. On a brighter note I've moved on and my new partner is lovely, calm, patient and very supportive. It's a beautiful thing living in a happy home xx

hiya congratulations! having young children can put such a strain on any relationship......and I would bet alot of woman have been in your position,me included! we have a 7yr old,5yr old,nearly 2yr old and am 11wks pregnant too,as mum I'm sometimes totally exhausted mentally and physically lol but I do have a very loving and supportive hubby but when the pressures on like all couples we vent to/at each other! as for mothers well they don't always act as we hope or want them too but they have had their life and made their choices,this is your life to live and your choices,you don't need mums approval anymore! good luck x

Feel your pain
DH and I argue a lot
Over real stupid things . It got well out of hand yday and I spent all day in bed crying
I don’t feel like I want to see him tonight at all
As for my mother . I cut her out of my life last year as she’s evil . No one else knows I’m pregnant so I’m feeling pretty isolated

Something's got to give and at this rate it will be your health. Either your DP needs to step up and parent his children, and look after his I'll and pregnant partner, or you leave him (it doesn't sound like he adds much that's positive to your situation), or you don't go ahead with the pregnancy. Bringing another baby into a failing relationship won't fix it

It's only been a couple of weeks we have had a bad patch and to end my pregnancy is not going to happen he is not the father of my 2 other children we are both at fault to the arguing not just him

Your Mother needs to realise what mine needed to as well, that she Doesn't get a vote on how many children you have. It's absolutely none of her business.

kkl1 · 21/05/2019 08:25

Yer I no I don't get why she thinks she can tell me how many children I can have and be moody I've rme having another baby
