And yes. It is horrendously sexist and disgusting. But I do.

I work full time. My friends are part time or SAHMs. We have no family support. Permaskint, permatired, permagrumpy.

And I’m being unreasonable and a most unpleasant person to boot but I can’t help it.

I think it would be easy to be happy if you didn't have to see your pals living a cushy life cos their dhs earn £££

Only natural, really. My Dh doesn't earn much at all but I wouldn't swap him for any of the others. Still wish we earned more though.

*I do earn 43k - 50k or thereabouts is my maximum earning potential realistically.

Dh earns about 26k.

Kids are small. House is expensive.*

It sounds like your joint income isn't much below ours. Our kids are small, we live hours away from all our family. We live in London so our house is hugely expensive as we took out the absolute maximum mortgage we could, as well as that we have quite high commuting costs that usually aren't the norm outside of London borders. But we aren't permaskint. If you don't live in the SE how much is your house/mortgage?
