DH works away in the week as we moved and he wanted to keep his job as it pays well and he has good training opportunities. This obviously means me solo parenting 2 under 5 from mon-fri.
My eldest started school last week so this was my first full week of nursery run, school run and working and housework cooking etc and I’m exhausted. Single parents I hold my hands up to you and I’m in awe. It’s fucking hard alone and at least I do get a break.
Kids were awful all afternoon after school pick up. Fighting and screaming and generally being a nightmare. DH waltzes in at 4.30 just as I’ve calmed everyone down and kids are instantly all over him (as to be expected) and he is all fun daddy and bringing them chocolate bars. And daddy’s my hero and daddy is so fun.
Well sorry mummy isn’t fun, it’s hard to be fun when you’re constantly fire fighting, cooking, cleaning and working etc. Gone upstairs to get away now and honestly feel like sticking my finger up at the lots of them and driving off somewhere for the weekend. If it wasn’t stupid Covid times I think I would.
Anyone else’s DHs work away? Do you resent them a bit or am I being a irritable unreasonable bitch?
