Actually very annoyed at the moment.

I’m in my last trimester I have two boys who I homeschool also I’m a SAHM. My husband works at the warehouse and for anyone who knows that industry it can be very tiring and the rules are strict. I won’t say everyday but pretty frequently my husband tells me he’s tired when he gets off work and basically when he gets home he’s like a bump on a log. I’m at the point where I just want to stop worrying about getting him to really engage with me and just do me but I need advice as to what I should I do about it

Warehouse work is gruelling. I would ask if he wants a coffee or ask if theres anything you can do to help him help you.

Also if possible get kidlets to help you get things for him as well with things they are able to do

This may sound harsh, but I think you should drop him for a while, here's why. When I was pregnant and reading the baby books there was one that said basically, "Make a list of the top 3 things that are important to you that you spend your time on each week (your job, your spouse, your extended family, a beloved hobby, etc). Cross out 2 and add the baby. That is what you will be able to accomplish after the baby arrives." I couldn't believe it pre-baby, but ultimately, there was some truth there. You are in the home stretch of your pregnancy (a technical disability), have two kids at home, & are homeschooling. It would be nice if you or your husband had energy to put into each other right now, but you don't. Right now, your have-to-haves are all tied up with the kids. It won't always be this way (it can't, actually) & you can keep your eyes out for opportunities to connect here & there, but he is an adult, capable of caring for himself and deciding how he wants to spend his time and your kids are not. Period.

@Monique I usually make him a quick lunch or snack when he gets home but there are times I’m burnt out and would like him to cater to me

@Shanna🌹 i understand that. Its kind of a one hand washes the other situation IMO make him his favorite meal and make it special, he may be burnt out as well. If you want a tired man to cater may want to try and make him feel special as well even if youre tired
