I know I'm being miserable but I have two toddler dc ages 1 & 2. I work shifts and when I'm not at work I'm with the dc by myself as DH works very long hours/long commute. Usually all day with the dc and then work until midnight. Sleep is more crap than usual so could explain why I'm so fed up.
I'm a massive introvert and find family gatherings draining. Was supposed to have holiday over Xmas but due to wanky manager fuck up, I've only got Xmas day off when I was supposed to have 2 weeks.
Extended family who usually live overseas have surprised everyone and are all staying locally at other relatives to "spend all the break together" and we will have to see them several times over Xmas and new year. No backstory, they're lovely but I just wanted a few lazy days of eating and lazing about with DH and our DC,
I'm constantly chasing my tail and failing at every opportunity which has left me so pissed off and annoyed about this precious time not being so previous or relaxing anymore. It's just not fun for me to socialise with people that frequently for days at a time.
Does anyone else feel like this? Or is it just me?!
Genuinely looking at remote holiday locations for next year....
