He does the laundry, which is great because I hate that. And he does the dishes and loads the dishwasher because he’s anal about exact placement of dishes and glasses and I don’t have time for that.

I hope he started helping out more when he saw what you do written out! I’m pregnant right now, and I’m concerned I’m going to end up taking on everything like ti sounds liek you have because currently my husband’s schedule is wake up at 9, walk upstairs and work. One time he told me he “didn’t have time to take out…

I didn’t lose hardly any of the pregnancy weight for almost a year. After my daughter was about a year old, I decided the depo shots I was getting weren’t working out for me so I switched birth control ... and the weight melted off in 3 months. Co-workers thought I’d gotten sick. Didn’t change my diet, or my exercise,…

If I had a husband that worked from home and still let me do all or more than half of the household labor, I’d leave him or threaten to. My blood is boiling for you.

Oh my hell PLEASE make him do more than shut up for a while. HE IS NOT PULLING HIS WEIGHT IN YOUR FAMILY. Sorry to be a shouting internet asshole but this kind of thing pisses me off so much. It’s NOT FAIR TO YOU.

Ah emotional labor. My husband bitched about how he has to put our son to bed when he gets home from work. Just brush his teeth, read book, put in bed: 20 minutes. I’m usually cooking dinner. He went on and on about how he got no time to decompress. I was like okay, sure I hear you. I’ll put him to bed (I already pick…

Now I want to bake something tonight and post a pic of it and the other 2 things I have baked this week with a “what’s your excuse?” caption.

Honestly I think that you need a new husband, that workload is grossly unbalanced.

Why the fuck doesn’t your husband help you more?! And he works from home, so no commute?! I’m... very angry at him on your behalf, did he start actually helping you out or did he just shut up about exercise, because that is not enough.

Same. Every time I read/hear a mom talking about how the work load in the home is mostly on her shoulders while her spouse is off doing his own thing blissfully unaware, it’s another nail in my uterus’ coffin. That biological clock can keep right on ticking.

I think instead of pointing out the difference in available time, you should use those lists to balance the effort between you a bit more. He’s not pulling his weight.

I was plump when I got pregnant, gained 35 lb, and then lost 40 lb the first 2 weeks after my daughter was born. A nurse commented about how great I looked only 2 weeks from giving birth. The nurse who checked me to the psychiatrist because I hadn't eaten in 2 weeks because I was sobbing 24/7 and in the throes of PPD.…

Oh, HELL NO. But same, until my daughter was 2 and my husband told me he felt he was in charge of all the "entertaining" of our daughter. Seriously, don't F with a PPD mom who hasn't slept in 2 years. I made him list what I was doing while he was "entertaining." Hey, let's switch. YOU make dinner, do laundry, lunches,…

So he works from home and does none of the housework? What’s his excuse?

Working out with my kids has never done anything for my oxytocin. Wtf. I only do it here and there because they like it. My preference would be an hour totally alone every day.

Here’s what 39 weeks looked like for her. She posted weekly photos all the way.

No one needs an “excuse” for living in their body the way they do. Regardless of their size or health level. We all get to make choices about what we prioritize, and often those choices are constrained by things like poverty and family needs.

Three years with no medical insurance and untreated hypothyroidism. Is that valid enough? Not sure how to suck up a chronic condition that could kill me.

4-5 weeks apart? I don’t...one is...how can...

She’s straight up crazy. Who in their right mind has ever said, “My favorite is doing laundry and working out...”
