Anyone dislike the weekend?

[SouthPole]

I was a sahm (just got autocorrected to sham!!) for about 7 years with the kids.

Went back to work in April and love it.

I thought it would give me an appreciation of the weekend because before it doesn't really matter (it being the weekend and all).

But now it's worse.

The endless fighting, mess, requests for fucking snacks. Endless thinking about what to do. Sat in when raining.

The guilt of too much Xbox and iPad.

The guilt of not wanting to get out for a walk in our lovely countryside...

Did I mention the fighting? Mess? Endless hunger?!

I cannot wait to get back to the working/school routine on a Monday morning.

I also seem be so sick of them- kids, husband.

Touched out. Noised out. I'm currently the spare room trying to find peace and decompress.

They're out in the hall fighting and calling each other bum cheeks.

I want to resign from this job of being a mum. It's not for me.

They are 4,6,7.

Husband works away during the week and is home weekends.

I've this a bit as well. Just booked them both into swimming lessons to break up Saturday afternoon a bit. Planning me and DH will do that in turn giving the other a bit of free time.

I'm a SAHM and yeah, I hate weekends. Mainly because it's exactly the same as any other day for me, only the kids are around aaaall day and want to 'do something', and DH is around wanting to do things with the kids (yay.) Our house in incredibly small and it really feels it when four people are all home at once.

So, do what? The park's been done to death, obviously, as have surrounding parks and walks, and the littlest isn't yet strong enough to tackle my preferred all-day Peaks treks. Our local pool was closed and the nearest one is very far away, and very dirty. I really miss swimming :(

I usually find an excuse to not be around, so DH takes over and plays board games, takes them out on bikes and that kind of stuff. But I'm injured now and stuck here. I go to the gym, a class, a lecture, a museum, anything to avoid another day of kid-centric blah.

Without kids we'd be at the cinema watching something for adults, enjoying a nice child-free restaurant, trekking the peaks, mountain biking or attending to our other sports/hobbies, but none of that can be done sensibly (or cheaply) with kids. We've got to gear things to them, I think that's what bugs me. No adult time. No adult activities. We have no childcare, if you hadn't guessed. I never get a freaking minute to even talk to my husband without a child around, and forget actually leaving the house on any sort of date.

So, yeah. Not a fan of weekends.
