Hi everyone
So....i have 1 child a daughter who is 5 and im trying to be a good mum, also i have been with my husband for 10 years and are trying to be a good wife. I also work 40 hours a week and trying to do well with my career.
I know this is no different to a lot of families out there but i am struggling to do all 3. I constantly feel like i am failing as a wife and mum.
My husband doesmt do much round the house so i feel like its always me tidying and food shopping. I always get up with our daughter to make her breakfast and packed lunch and i take her to school (husband picks her up from school) when i get home from work i make tea bath little one put her to bed.
Problems i have is i feel like i rarely spend time with my daughter and feel like im letting her down.
Plus i feel like im not a good wife as as soon as i put my daughter to ned i go to bed cos im shattered so dont spend time with my husband.
And i get really bad mum guilt so hate letting family look after my daughter while me and the hubby go out.
How do people balance family life?
Any help appreciated x
