To ask what your life looks like at the moment?

Me, dh & 2 teenagers
2 dogs, 2 cats, other small furries!
Up at 4.45am Monday-Friday
Usually up by 5.30am Saturday/sunday😴
Both work approx 40 hrs pw, still skint and money is a huge worry.
Still ferrying kids to extra curriculars, not much time for me/us.
So much time spent cleaning, don't know where all of the dirt appears from (if I had to apportion blame....probably the dogs!)
I am exhausted and there is truly no end in sight!

Also I have a cleaner once a week which is lovely 😊

Single no DC, mid 30s.

Get up at 8:30, start working from home at 9 am. I am online until 5 pm but take long breaks in between calls so I often work 4/5 hours a day. After work I relax, read, go to yoga class, go swimming, see friends for drinks or dinner, go to the cinema. I usually go to bed around 11:30.

I go away for the weekend often, sometimes to beach, sometimes to the mountains.

I am pretty happy tbh.

Sorry to read this, i hope people step up soon.

I am so sorry reading this. How awful for you. I hope things change for you soon.

My life is much slower and easier as my kids have got older. They are now teens and luckily for me they are lovely teens. I think pace of life is very connected to age of your kids, if you have any.

Up about 6:30, out to work at 8. Home about 5 and I like to get out a walk then and manage most days. I don't do excessive housework but do clean up (partner cooks) and tidy up after dinner each day. Then it's a mix of me going to yoga or taking kids to their sports activities or maybe going a walk while chatting on phone to friend.

I socialise at weekends mainly but prefer to do it mostly during the day and have lazy evenings. Occasional nights out. I'm very contented at this stage of life doing less and having more time to walk and read and spend time with my kids when they fancy it.

Me, alone. OH died earlier this year and we were both disabled and caring for each other. Not able to work.

No sleeping pattern. Mostly stare at the walls all day. Mum visits once a week for 3 hours and tidys up a bit.

I tried asking for help but once the funeral was over everyone stopped responding to me and never bothered doing the stuff they said they would. Asked for a social worker assessment and they want so much of my income for a carer that I wouldn't be able to pay the rent if I took it.

This time last year my life was awesome. I'm stunned by how quickly everything changes.

4 kids (1 adult 3 teens)
2 dogs
I work around 35 hours a week
DH does the same
Up at 7.30iah (work from home in the main). Work by 8.30 finish at 4ish. Dinner at 6ish. Go out or do activities or watch TV. Bed by 11pm
I cook twice a week as does DH in the kids do the rest.
I go out 1 or 2 times a week to pub/theatre/gigs with friends
I go to a weekly art class, the gym about once a week and a netball club twice a week.
The house isn't the tidiest but I prefer to prioritise going out and having fun.
It's very busy and hectic but that's how I like it.

You really can’t compare yourself to strangers on the internet OP. If you’re stressed, you’re stressed and just because someone else is ‘busier’ doesn’t mean you can’t be! Sounds like you’re heading towards a burnout - if you can change the situation, then do! Life is too short.

HOWEVER - because I’m nosey and want to see others 🤣 - here would be my rough daily schedule during the week.

6.30am - alarm & up
6.45am - 2/3 times a week 30 min jog or walk, otherwise lie in bed
7.15am - shower & get ready
8.30am to 4pm - work (3 days from home, 2 in office. 8 min drive to office).
4.15 to 5 - chill, TV on, put something in oven, do a chore ( laundry or dishwasher etc, hang washing, hoover, change sheets)
5 to 5.45ish - chop, prep, cook etc… eat dinner, watch TV.
5.45 to 7.45ish - sometimes a YouTube video (yoga, weights), sometimes walk outdoors or sea swim, sometimes cinema, sometimes visit elderly relative and do shopping for them, sometimes my own food shop, sometimes more chores, sometimes NOTHING at all.
7.45 to 8.30ish - self care stuff as needed e.g. wash hair, shave legs, bath, nails, iron or steam clothes.
8.30 to 9.30 - TV, phone
9.30-10.15 - sometimes more phone, sometimes read
10.15ish - sleep

Obviously can’t compare me to someone with kids or a highly demanding job!

2 adult children at home. No dramas from them they’re lovely lads. They do their bit round the house.
Work ft, just had a promotion but my salary is a bit shit. Not dreadful but not where I’d like it.
minimal outgoings though, no mortgage.
Socialise most weeks and have a fairly good exercise routine. Lots of walking the dog.
After work is cleaning and cooking but I see my family a couple of evenings a week.
Bed by ten, up by 6 every work day. I read before I sleep.
Most evenings I get 1-2 hours to watch whatever series we’re on.
Oh and I’m married and we split household stuff 50/50.
Life wasn’t always this quiet but I’m only about peace and quiet now.

Me, DH, DD 2.5. work 3 long days a week. Monday and Friday off.
