Dh and I were working together in a company we started , I was working full time and we have 5 children- everything was fab.
We lost one of our major clients and to cut a long story short it was no longer possible for us to cover the cost of childcare.we share all of our money and so it wasnt a question of who was paying for it it just didn't add up in total. DH has GOT to be there each day as he runs the technical side of things and there's no reason for me to be there without him if you see what I mean.
I still have to do a few hours a day at home to keep up with some basic admin .
So I am now a SAHM. I was fine with it at first but lately I have changed so much - there is no reason for anything, I shout all the time , can't be bothered to do anything. I woke u this morning feeling like crying because another day had started.
The house is a tip
I love being with the children it's just the endless stream of nothing that I can't face.
I don't even have a car so any trip out is a major undertaking.
Dh is working really long hours (he left at 6am And doesn't cone home until around 10pm).
I was already doing some evening voluntary work which I am still doing but now I'm finding it hard as I just feel so worried and out of place .
I have looked into all possibilities for work and because of DHs hours and childcare costs we are FAR better off with me here.
Dh and his family have been talking about how hard dh has it and how I'm "just depressed".
But Aibu to think it's not really depression it's just being a shit SAHM?
Aibu to say this even though it will upset dh since he seems to like telling everyone how hard he works and how I am now "at home ".
