I'm currently pregnant with my 4th, were in the process of moving house and sorting out our holiday amongst other things regarding this pregnancy and the rest of the DC (General life).
I'd say my life is genuinely quite busy on a day to day basis, however my younger brother has just left school and my Mum is expecting me to help him find a job, help him find accommodation and also do whatever else that pops into her mind. I talk to her daily and there is always something new to add to the long list of things she wants me to do. I just can't do it any more! I feel stressed about problems I shouldn't feel stressed about because they are not my problem. A week or so a go I was trying to help her sort the child tax credits out and before I knew it anxiety had set in I'd worked myself up and was snapping at my DP and DC and for what? The issue still hasn't been sorted out because it feels she expects me to do all the leg work and basically do it for her even though I have gave her a simple step-by-step guide to sorting it out!
I'm writing this out of rage and so probably sound really unreasonable but I feel she is being unfair but regardless I'm still left feeling the strain and weight of her problems. Don't get me wrong I don't mind helping people especially when they help themselves but, my Mum has got herself into these sticky situations and there is nothing I or anybody else for that matter can physically do to help or resolve her issues.
I can't have my brother live with me whilst he's looking for a job it's against our tenancy agreement and, there is simply not enough room!
My head feels like it is about to explode! I needed to vent because I don't want to snap at my Mum I know she's struggling but even if I do help her and lay it all out, so it's a lot easier for her she still doesn't sort it out and I'm left listening to another day of what she wants me to do, I just don't know what to do now.
Sorry it's long.
