Third trimester- struggling to keep on top of the house

[allgettingtoomuch]

I'm due end of next month and I already have 2 DC's one at nursery and one at school. OH is moaning about the house all the time but in all honestly I couldn't give a shite. As long as it's tidy enough and laundry is kept on top off and my kitchen and bathroom is clean I don't care about anything else.

He keeps moaning about the flooring that it needs a good mop and it does he is right but I don't have the energy for it and I'm only going to end up breathless and be back in bed again.

I don't have that urge to get up and do a big clean like I normally do pre pregnancy that feeling has gone and I would rather just relax.

OH makes me feel bad about things not getting done maybe not intentionally but he does. Should I be doing a better job? I don't know..

Give him the mop. Problem solved.

Ha! He would rather moan about it instead of actually doing it.

Not to put too fine a point on it, if it's bugging him maybe he should just mop the floor.

Your house sounds like it's in a completely workable state and I think you're completely right to prioritise rest if that's what your body is telling you to do.

I don’t understand why he’s not mopping the floor given you are pregnant and he isn’t?
I agree it’s becoming a struggle here too and we either leave things to do longer than normally might or DH is taking over more than his usual share which I do appreciate as an easily exhausted now

Surprise surprise, another useless fucking dad who doesnt think the home he lives in is his responsibility.

What a prince! Tell him to shut up or do it himself.

I'm in first trimester and definitely doing less than before as been very sick. DH is picking up the slack with the DC and the house, as he should!

He either needs to do it himself or pay for a cleaner, even a one off deep clean might help.

I'm due in 4 weeks, have a toddler (not at nursery) and only stopped working this week. My DH works full-time but still finds the time to cook, clean, change the cat litter, sort the recycling/take the bins out, do the washing (both clothes and dishes) and bath and bedtime for our son every night.

Written down, it sounds like I do nothing (which isn't far off the mark) but I'm huge, sore, tired and don't have the energy. Once baby is born, we'll go back to splitting the housework 50/50 but for now, it's all on him as he's physically capable, I'm not.

Your DH needs to get his finger out and start putting a shift in at home. Don't be guilted or bullied into pushing yourself past your limits.

Yep, give him the mop or tell him to shut up.
I’m knackered at 33 weeks with awful backache and don’t even have any older kids to look after, just a dog that needs a quick walk each day. I do what I can but my body is telling me I need to rest so when not working, resting is the priority.

Ive got one of these at home too. Hit him with the mop.
And he can always pay a cleaner if it bothered him so much but won't, i think just bothers them we cant do nothing and instead of helping theyre like that
