I'm fed up with never having any time to myself.I've got no family near who can take the kids for an hour or so and give me a break. I've never had a night away by myself or with dh and the oldest is 7.There's just no-one to help us. I know it's not the end of the world but after years of being at home I'd love some me time. I work p/t to fit round the kids but it's not a break, it's care work.To make it worse I've got a neighbour with 1 kid who's got support from her family coming out of her ears and she's always moaning to me and looking for sympathy about how hard it is for her, but I rarely see her with her ds he's usually farmed out to a relative as she can't be bothered doing the parenting herself.I just need a fairy godmother to give me an afternoon to myself every few weeks to recharge my batteries, I'm not looking for weekends away or a full day (but God I can dream...)
I know moan moan but who else but other mothers would understand?
