I agree you need to get help for your husband and not get rid of the cat. You've cleaned the box for this long(though you shouldn't have) it's not gonna make much a of a difference. I think you have a dog, so who is going to take the dog out to go to the bathroom when the baby is here? If you do also have a dog, how the HELL do you choose to get rid of one and not the other.

Your husband needs to help you. Because having a baby is NOT easy at all, you need all the help you can get. I'd go crazy if I didn't have Chris to help me at night/weekends. He needs to help you. That's the bottom line.

I try to avoid mrsstreffs animal posts because they irritate me. But I'm going to chime in here.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure she was complaining about the cat jumping on the counters, and getting into the trash. She also posted about her poor kitten who died while being living outdoors..
I dont agree with rehoming due to a new baby on the way. But, this may be in the best interest in the cat. She obviously has no interest in taking proper care of the animals, or working with them on their behavior issues. So maybe giving the cat to a family who will have time for it, is in it's best interest.
And that's all I'm really going to say on the matter.

This. Every single word of it.

Ryan and my cats LOVE each other! Seriously, Ryan feeds them by hand and when he stays over at my parents they get all mopey. Don't get rid of your cat!

Please have a talk with your DH in the next few weeks about how much he is going to need to pitch in. If he can't change a litter box, I fear for how few diapers he will change. And really diaper changes are the least of it. What about a crying baby in the middle of the night? I hope you can figure it out soon!

As someone who is cutting down on everything in her life because it's not manageable with an infant...

i had to cut down on certain things and am still continuing to do so because it's way too much but come on, you cut down on other things BEFORE you just give up your pet (especially before you even know if you can handle it or not.)

I am not going to say much because this is all being blown up and it really doesnt need to be. My DH helps me, just not as much as I would like. He is trying harder these days, but I still know that I do most of the stuff around the house. I married him I know who he is and if I wasnt okay with it I wouldnt have married him. We dont need counseling so that is out of the question. We are just getting rid of the cat, we are looking. Thats all I dont even want to read this anymore because its just a bunch of drama and I feel like I am being attacked.

You aren't being attacked, people are stating their feelings towards you getting rid of the cat for no apparent reason then other that your H doesn't help you do things. Maybe you should just wait to see what happens with the baby and the cat before you decide to just give it away. Maybe it will work out for the best and you can keep the cat!
