I’m not expecting anything from this thread, I just need to get it out.
I’m not ok. I saw a thread entitled similar the other day.
I’ve gone from maternity to furlough, so my income has gone down 3 times since last March. I know I’m lucky to have a job etc but I’m on very little income now. Dp’s income covers rent, maintenance for his children and car expenses. It goes no further so my wage is supposed to cover bills and everything else which it just about did pre maternity and I was due a pay rise last year which was cancelled due to Covid.
I’m homeschooling 2 children with a teething 8 month old who seems immune to sleep day and night.
There is never a moment in the day where I’m alone, there is no one sat on me, clinging to me, asking me something, for something, to do something, to find something or making a noise or doing something stupid.
The dog constantly barks, the baby constantly cries, there’s moans about homeschooling and ‘how come she gets to do that when I have to do this?’ Erm... because she’s 5 and you’re 9....
I’ve had my first post baby period this week so my mood is especially low
We’ve had a bailiff round today. We’ve got 2 bailiff worthy debts at the moment and I don’t have the headspace or the child free time to deal with them. I just want to email to explain and plead my case but there is no way of contacting a real person other than by phone. They don’t care about Covid related financial problems because ‘it’s the same for everyone’. Bastards. I’m trying to pay everything but there’s just not enough money. We’re not entitled to help, we’re mere pence over the cut off.
I’ve got plenty of friends but no one to really talk to. Everyone’s having a shitty time, everyone’s got their battles.
Dp works so hard, he’s asleep within half an hour of having dinner.
I’m spent.
I’ve tried to keep so positive throughout all this. We’re lucky in so many ways but today I just can’t. I’m mentally exhausted by it all.
Thank you for reading if you got to the end. I just needed to get it all out. X
