I regret having kids, but that ship has sailed.
I've got a 3yr old and a 2yr old. I've also got anxiety & depression. I'm a SAHM. Some days are okay, but gradually, over time, I've sunk into a mundane existence that no one is enjoying. I can't interact with my own kids. I don't know how. It just doesn't come natural to me. I don't enjoy being in their company. I am miserable and they know it.
DH works from 8am till 6pm. He earns too much to enable my 2 year old to get any childcare.
I'd rather work than live like this but I'm not trained to do any specific job. And childcare would gobble up any wages anyway.
I'm at a very low point. I hate myself for feeling this way. I thought I would be a good mum. I couldn't have been more wrong. :(
I'm sitting here crying and the kids are looking at me. Normally I'd try to hide but I've lost the will.
