We are healthy and have no imminent financial concerns.. but I just feel burnt out with the relentlessness of full time work, homeschool and childcare at the moment. DH also works full time and does 50% of everything. But I feel there is no rest from 7:30 when once of us starts work to 11pm when kids (primary school age) are at last asleep and have stopped demanding drinks; chats; cuddles etc, and I’m finishing some work (often to 10-11 or 11:30). We Sit down for 1.5hr of of a tv programme on Friday and Saturday. I try to go for a walk or jog most evenings (before dd1 is asleep and before I do some catch up work) and wonder how people with kids manage to have their feet up relaxing watching tv at 9pm (As it appears to me when i pass a window !) Right now I have a load of dishes to wash; cake to ice; two kids to put to bed (DH is mowing the lawn). Just fed up with the ongoing daily Jobs and hassles. And feel guilty as I know I’m unreasonable given that so many Have significant problems - are unwell, single parents, abusive relationships; carers etc. I don’t know how people manage. Huge respect to you if you are in that situation.
Ok I’m moaning. Bring it on. Tell me Iabu and I will get a grip!
