Fed up with being told I’m not good enough

Just that really.

My 7 year old tells me I don’t do enough with him. My partner tells me I spend too long with him, on bedtime, playing etc.

I know I should spend more time with my baby, I feel I do the bare minimum. My childminder (1 day a week) has asked me to make progress with weaning.

My partner tells me I don’t put enough into our relationship.

My self-employed business is not making enough money and I need to put more into it. It keeps the roof over our head, Accountant, suppliers, HmRC all need me to do more.

I don’t get enough housework done. I need to visit my family more. I need to help with homework. The list feels endless.

Everyone wants a bit more of me. I’m not good enough for anyone.

I assume your partner is not the kids dad? In which case I would bin him off given how unsupportive he is, and focus on yourself and your children.
