Strange... I have so much in common with your cousin but our husbands don't. I just turned 32 weeks pregnant. My husband has been VERY helpful around the house. Even though he works, he's been doing the grocery shopping, laundry, cooking, and has even been helping out with the cleaning. He loves doing stuff for me and I tell him that I apprecaite it. His consultation to get snipped is today, it is something that he wanted to do because we only want 2 kids.
Maybe you can help her out around the house or babysit the kids? Maybe you can even take her hubby off to the side and straighten him out. Now is not the time for her to be arguing with him about this because she's already under enough stress. If he cares about her health and the baby's he will take care of his family better.
Another thing is that it does take 2 to make a baby. If she doesn't want anymore babies there are steps she could be taking to prevent it even if that means taking birth control pills behind his back. Or she can cut him off until he gets snipped. But I think the best thing to do is for her to talk to him. It sounds like they have a lot on their plate. I can't imagine having so many kids and having them close together.
I will be praying for that baby and that she finds help for the problems with her husband. |
