Feeling like a failure 😞

I'm a full time stay at home mum. I have 3 kids aged 5, 3 and 19 months, currently pregnant with my 4th. All the live long day I just get shit from them... crying, screaming, back chat!! I struggle to keep on top of the housework, I'm in too much pain to walk the dog most days. But my husband, who works a 60 hour week will come home and just smash out the housework, he'll take the dog out, the kids are so loving and happy towards him and I just feel like an absolute failure at life. I'm absolutely grateful for him, don't get ne wrong, but he also has this habit of making me feel shit by saying things like "I can get the house tidy, why can't you?" And it makes me feel a mm tall every time.

It is easier to do things when you have help. He comes home and you still take care of the kids even after all day and he gets the house done .thats why. You cant raise 3 kids while pregnant and keep them safe while also cleaning the house (expecially with the kids making messes after you as children do)

Message if you ever wanna talk even tho ik your probably too busy to do that remember your doing so well and moms are super heroes

I have a 4 year old and a 1 year old and I thought wow you’re doing amazing when I read how many you have! Sometimes I feel like I’m drowning in just the two of them let alone adding pregnancy on top of it all!! I know it’s hard but be kind to yourself don’t forget how exhausting pregnancy is on its own without kids to rush around and take care of-I know with my second it was so much harder as I couldn’t just sit down when I felt sick or not carry the whingy toddler! It’s the age old argument of who does more but I guarantee your husband would feel the same if he was home and not work 🤣 not sure what he does for work but don’t let him make you feel less than for helping you when he gets home!
