It's graft, isn't it?
Right now with 4 dcs aged 9, 7, 5 and 2, we are finding that there is very little if any respite.
Dh finds the weekends awful as they are non stop with things that need to be done like the dcs (rugby, swimming, general being with) the garden, our chickens.
I do all the cooking, cleaning, ironing, dog walking, work part time too.
It is relentless and knackering. There is no way round it.
Dh is pretty pissed off with it all. I think he's slowly checking out. We have no time together, no money, no relatives nearby to help out.
Even when we had money he would never want to go out for dinner - my idea of heaven not having to cook! - as he said he ate out a lot with clients at work.
He wanted to do other fun stuff but never came up with anything let alone arranged anything. I think he just thought all he had to do is not make much of an effort really.
So it's all a bit shit really.
