The situation is that I’ve always mean very introvert, but since I had my second child I’ve also had anxiety and I’m pretty exhausted most of the time. I work in a busy job and on top of all the dcs parties, clubs and so on, I desperately need my weekends to recharge.
In laws like to spend a lot of time with us, we often try to stop by during the week but it’s still guaranteed they will ring us every single weekend to come over. That’s fine, if we aren’t busy we say fine or we try to get to theirs to see them. My biggest problem is that dh will often do things with his dad at weekends, all fine, only every time mil wants to come and spend the day with me. She doesn’t drive so it means fil dropping her in off in the morning and the whole day.
I can’t cope with it, I can’t relax at all with people in my house. I’m never going to change, believe me I have tried, it’s just my personality type, I like my own company and only need to socialise in very small doses. I’m not including my husband and children in this.
I can’t keep lying saying I’m busy because often I’m not, I simply need the freedom of my weekends to do as I please.
