Wish DH would grow a backbone or I'll force one out of him!

DH is really being a pain on my right bumcheek! We live with his parents and my MIL is driving me crazy.

I have SPD and she couldn't give a monkeys hiding place, if I was near death. She treats me like a house maid, I cook, clean and wash up after her, her children (14, 20 and 24) FIL PLUS looking after DS who's 2. DH works all sorts of hours and is barely home to see it but even when he is he'll just watch and later apologize. DM wants to speak to DH but I'm not sure as being a mother myself, I dread to think about what she'd say to him.

They make me feel like I should be grateful that I am living there, and I owe them my blood. I've even been woken up at 2am to clean the fridge while DH was left sleeping as he 'has work tomorrow'. So do I?! Being a mother is work and being pregnant too, I need all the energy I can get.

I haven't slept properly in 2 months and it's only getting worse. I've had enough! I've been married since June and I can assure you it was nothing like this before I sold my soul to them devils. They literally changed overnight

Superiorcat of course, I don't mind chipping in, but this is far more than just chipping in. I'm the only one who washes up, cleans the kitchen and the house, I cook most of the time too. They have a 24 year old daughter but she always runs off with the excuse of reading her books, so MIL doesn't force her to do anything. Their son who's 14 used to feel sorry for me but realised his life was made easier and so doesn't help me anymore. DS watches me do all this and it makes me feel bad as I have no time to play with him as I'm trying to make sure everything is done before everyone gets home.

I'm exhausted! This pregnancy has been the hardest with MS (still!) and SPD..

hmmm.

I give up really. It is what it is.

I don't really understand the housing system in this country. It differs so much from area to area. Can you leave and get accommodation as you would be homeless with kids? Or try a womens refuge. You are being abused. If I knew how to get emoticons on this fone I would be giving you flowers so have a hug instead x
