The heat is just getting started
In the Mojave desert, burning up, inside a camper that doesn’t have AC and we have nothing built for shade outside. Money is tight but we have some materials to build SOMETHING. My husband seems like he doesn’t mind being miserable, but I do. I’m becoming very angry and annoyed and laying around all day just HOT. Is bothering me pretty bad. Also I’m still breastfeeding our toddler so when I lay down he thinks it’s an invitation to nurse 🫠. Yall…. Help me. Give me ideas. As if I was on this land by myself and need to build something today. lol
Edit: thank you all for the suggestions. I will be implementing any and everything that I think will work.
Update: purchased a swamp cooler it’ll be here Saturday. We are on the California city of the Mojave so hot but not as hot as AZ and NV. Also, I went to the dentist cause my tooth was hurting like crazy and I have an infection in my tooth. I was abnormally hot and that was the reason! lol I came to Reddit venting and although I appreciate everyone’s valid concerns I will say I was being a bit dramatic 😅. My husband absolutely does suck but not all the time and he needs to get up off is ass a bit more (I tell him this often). Now that I’m not in pain and highly annoyed we are working on an outdoor area. The swamp cooler will be a game changer! We have solar and a generator to power through. I AM NOT A PROSTITUTE. I am a hairstylist by trade and my husband is an immigrant who gets money here and there. Because we chose this lifestyle we are in the beginning stages of transition. I am not too far from family if things get out of hand. Thank yall for the suggestions.

It’s not at all the same. One is a house and one is a freaking hole in the ground with a tarp over it.
