Sorry this is likely to be long...
I'm not sure how to organise all this really so it's likely to be a bit waffly as well.
I just feel like I'm in a very long very dark tunnel with no hint of an end in sight.
I have a DS (13 months) and at the moment I'm a SAHM. The job I had before he was born really wasn't compatible with having a child (they trot out lines about work-life balance but no such thing exists) So curretly I stay at home lookig after DS while tryig to fid a new job.
DP works i London and has quite a long commute every day. His official working hours are 9-6, but he NEVER leaves on time (usually leaves work about 7.30) so he's leaving home at about 7.30 each morning, and getting home about 9.30 pm. he's stressed to the gills with work, and the fact that we just don't have enough money. We're just about squeakig through on his salary. I'm not having any luck with the job hunting.
DS at the moment seems to do nothing but scream and cry all day long - i can't keep on top of the housework, so the house is disgustingly filthy. It's really depressing. We moved out here shortly before ds was born, and I have failed to break into the local clique, so I feel completely isolated. I spend my very long days looking after a child who almost never stops screaming, and never getting a break or any company to ease this.
In short, I don't get enough sleep, I hardly get any time with DP, I have no friends, no job, no money and everything feels totally hopeless right now. The boiler is now broken, and we can't get anyone in to fix it util the house is clean, but I can't get the bloody house clean with a baby constantly screaming and trying to climb up my legs.
I just need something to go right for us.
I don't even really know what I'm expecting here, just needed to have a moan I guess.
