My husband is constantly on my case about EVERYTHING! Always questioning my parenting of our 2 year old daughter (I'm a stay at home mom), I'm 7 months pregnant now and never feel good plus I have been fighting depression over personal loss issues for almost 5 years as it is, but I keep up with our daughter somehow & do all the housework & cooking. He gripes about the house, my cooking, my being on the computer when I cant sleep, what shampoo I use on our 2 year old during her baths, how hot or cold I have the house when he isnt even here; just everything! I'm sooo stressed out I just wanna scream, I cry at the drop of a dime and unless I have on a happy face 24/7 he gets mad & actually has to ask me whats wrong... I cant hardly sleep at night but he expects me to just close my eyes & poof I'll be asleep. Tonight he had the gall to say to me "How the f*ck you gonna handle 2 kids when you cant even handle one?!", he says this type of thing every single day.. how do you cope?

You don't dear. Let him deal with his insecurities but take care they don't affect you...as they probably are right now. You are doing a fine job trust me. Gone thru same phase myself,my self determination at never going to give in to his flimsy attitude and sense of humour got me through. Find reasons to smile at his gripe now, as you probably wd do few years hence.Your labour of love shall be the two kids you nurture.Have patience n smile always.
Joy shall be yours.

Yes i can relate with this exact thing, am you have my deepest sympathy. I have a autistic child and i work during school hours everyday when i drop off our child at school then pick him up when school is finished. My husband is a shiftworker and is home more than me n all he does is watch TV when he is home. The only thing he does is wash his work cloths when it comes to housework thats as far as it goes. He complains that our house isn't spotless, complains that i don't cook a meal to have before he goes to work and complains that i go to work (but he would complain more without the extra money) I think you are doing a great job - a stay at home mum is hard work especially with little kids and another on the way no wander you are crying and emotional. Your husband should be supporting you not running you down. I just try to focas on one happy thing everyday (usually something funny my child has done) and keep focas on them n ignore the putting down cause i know im doing a good job even if he isn't helping. smile an believe in yourself - big hugs

Dear madam ,I am man from very far country [IRAQ] but even in my country there are such men ,I have many friends I new that their wives do everything to make them happy but when he talk about his life with here give the felling like she cant do any thing and she cant handle the house,but? that doesnt mean that he don't love here or he don't know what she is doing to the family but such a man need a close friend to talk to him only to tell him that the women need to fell the appreciation in the eye or talk of her husband.
