Don’t bother speaking

I wake up to a screaming baby pushed in my face. “HERE SHES CRYING”, and he goes back to play his game. I barely fell asleep two hours before but I don’t bother speaking. He won’t care anyway. My oldest comes up to me saying he’s hungry. I’m busy feeding the baby so I ask “Babe can you get X something to eat?”… “Sure.” Okay. Twenty minutes pass and I put down the baby and go see what’s happening. X is still whining starting to cry saying he’s hungry. HE hasn’t even looked at him. The headset covering his ears blocks out the sound. I don’t bother speaking. He won’t hear me anyway. I make food for the kids but ignore my own stomach. I haven’t eaten in two days but I don’t even feel hungry. So why eat? I spend the rest of the day either cleaning or watching cartoons with the kids. He doesn’t move from his chair. The headset never comes off. I go to the room while the kids play. I cry…and cry…and cry….and then he comes in the room…he sees my tears…..and then he grabs the charger and goes back to his game…so I just sit there knowing I’m worthless and pointless….so I don’t bother speaking
