For background she's 8 months pregnant as title says.

I know she shouldn't be taking Adderall while pregnant, but she'll do it if I'm not home; it's the only way she cleans or takes care of the house otherwise its all on me.

I get home from work at 4:30 after waking up at 6, didn't eat as it was a busy day and halfway through my sandwich when I got home she asked me to do several things, little things but nothing that couldn't wait 10 minuites.

It proceeded to bedtime, we put our 3yo daughter down and now she's doing the whole living room, basement, bathroom, the new baby's room (which was originally my "man cave"), at 9:30 at night.

I currently sleep regularly on the couch too give her space to spread out on the bed and not disturb her sleep.

At about 11 at night I looked at the clock and then at her and told her I need to start winding down, she didn't get the memo and kept trying to adjust things. It came to a point where I go over to the corner space in the basement where we have a spare bed and sat down to catch my breath, I'd been up 17 hours at this point after working a physically demanding job. She walked right up to me and asked what I was doing. I said I was hiding from her and asked if we could clear her things from the couch so I could go to bed.

That's me being rude as fuck as described from the text.

I've explained to her calmly and rationally, I wake up early and I'm tired by X time and should probrobly go to bed sooner rather than later, I also would like 15-20 minuites to decompress when I get home.

We have everything I feel we should need for baby #2 as we still have our first baby's things from every stage of her growing up, I need another car seat but I'm handling that within the next week. Breastfeeding pump, bottles, diapers, bassinet, crib, the works.

So y'all, AIO? Or am I crazy?

Edit: "Crackhead energy" is what she herself uses to describe her "cleaning mania" and mood in general while she's on Adderall. The first time I'd ever used the phrase was last night, I know it was wrong then and now.

Her doctor is also not currently prescribing it, she stocks up on it.

It wasn't as simple as "moving a few boxs", it's within 5 minuites of being home, take out the trash and spray out the can, go get groceries, cook dinner, take Savanna to the park" the list goes on. I'm not trying to get out of taking care of responsibility and I try to take her being pregnant into consideration but at what point do I say "Gee idk if 6 hours of sleep is enough" and "stop trying to do it yourself please before you hurt yourself or the baby"?
