Hi Not sure where to post this...
I am full time SAHM with ds1 - 4yo and ds2 - 20mo and pregnant with dc3 (14 weeks)
My husband works very long hours and doesn't see the kids mon - fri. this is probably not unusual but recently (preg hormones?) I feel so isolated and unsupported. He is loving but he is understandably knackered from work and so am I!!! Have not been out of the house much this year due to weather and illness of both DS so perhaps just a little stir crazy...How do you cope in this situation?
My mum and dad are around, but if i start to have a bit of moan they say oh don't worry you'll have 3 to look after soon...they do help out but don't really understand the long day...
Maybe I'm just hormonal....and ungrateful, financially we are vvvvv lucky, big house, no money worries etc. My husband works all hours so we can pay our mortgage off in 3 years time so I know I should just grin and bear it but it breaks my heart when he cant get day off for ds1 4th birthday last week and I find myself constantly trying to be mum and dad...
at weekends I just want to do something, anything on my own just to feel a bit more like me again, i feel dh resents any time i have off and wants his fair share of time off too...he does spend time with kids, but rarely of any real quality imho
sorry to ramble, all of my chest now! but any advice if you have been through or going through similar gratefully recieved
