I work full time and have 2 young kids. Dp is a stay at home dad. At the moment I can never do what I want to do it seems, because of a continual stream of competing obligations. This week I have been invited out for a xmas meal and drinks on two separate nights - I can't do either because of work meetings and other obligations where I have to travel away on the train and won't get back in time / at all.
I want to spend more time doing xmas things with the kids like going to xmas markets but I'm always having to work / meet deadlines. My leisure invites and activities all seem to be when I can't get a babysitter or dp can't look after them.. I feel like I'm not in the right place at the right time, half the time!
I feel bored and frustrated? Anyone out there have their shit together and you life flows smoothly with a balance of fun and work? I'd like to hear from you!!! I'm in a grump!
