To hate Sundays?

[MummyDayAndNightCare]

I used to dislike them when I was working. That whole feeling of dreading having to go to work used to start on a Sunday afternoon.

But now, I am a SAHM and I still dislike them Don't think it helps that DH works most of them so whilst everyone else is doing the family thing I am wallowing in my own vat of miserableness that it is Sunday again!

I have started doing "slow cooker sundays", and it's so much easier. i get it all ready the day before, then bung it in slow cooker. Sunday evening Dh does all the ironing, and I lie around on sofa drinking wine relaxing.

No I hate sundays too. Its just me and DS 3 who has adhd and on autistic spectrum. Don't drive so stuck a home as hardly any buses. Am skint and depressed. Everyone seems to be doing happy family things and I just want to crawl under duvet and sleep. 6.30 am wake up calls seem so much worse on a sunday. I find it the longest and lonliest day of the week. The house is a tip and I have no motivation anymore

Have you thought about moving to the Isle of Mull (sorry, your post missed mine).

Would be interested in a chat about this if you are, shall we have our own little thread?

Sadly Tiger I don't think we oucld make it work for dh and I jobswise - also not sure I can take island living all year round. It is our favourite holiday destination - just booked for next summer, our tenth year. Are you thinking about moving there?

Yes, our jobs aren't great but we're determined to do it. I'll start a thread now so as not to hijack this.

Ok - v exciting - I'll be there!

With you OP.

DH is doing some seriously back-breaking DIY. Today he started at 8, and has just finished. He is so knackered that he has fallen asleep in front of the telly.

I feel like shouting 'I HAVE LOOKED AFTER THE KIDS ALL DAY (and the day before, and the day before etc etc) AND MY BRAIN HAS MELTED', but instead am trying to be sympathetic. Most of me truly believes he has had a harder day than me, but a little bit of me doubts it.

Would have loved to go on a family day trip, or taken the kids swimming, or generally just chilled as a family. Instead I have taken the kids to Tesco's, packed some old clothes away, and gone for a walk around the block at the pace of a snail with DS (17mo) and DD (4).

I'm a bit indifferent to Sundays tbh. Sometimes I work but there is a routine in the house whether I'm there or not. It is the day that DH gets the kids uniform washed and ironed and does the weekly shop and kids homework finshed. We usually go out for tea. The kids have their mates round.
If I'm not working I might go out on my bike for a few hours or go caving.

Dh goes out for a pint in the evening and it is the one night of the week I go to bed before midnight.

Love Sundays. Long lie-in (while kids watch a DVD), park, potter, sunday papers and DH is cooking a roast.

Minimum housework.

Oooh, I love Sundays (but am on maternity leave at the moment). Actually, I love them even when I'm working, although I do miss the pre-children ones - lie in followed by slap-up breakfast, lots of coffee, cinema in the afternoon, couple of drinks with friends in the afternoon, cooking dinner with flatmates in the evening.

Taking DD swimming at 8am on a Sunday is also a joy, of course, but a different one
