Does anyone ever fall foul of pleasing everyone in the family but no one thinks of you??

I was supposed to take the kids to the zoo but one was unwell so I spent all day scrubbing the old padding pool and blowing it up and getting it sorted and all the other usual crap that came with it, and food shopping and all else whole DH was at work.

All day long I look forward to getting in that pool. I watch the older two and I'm so envious.
I tell them I will get in it the second the toddlers in bed.
I offered to get them a take away too.

I settle the toddler come down, get a glass of wine all ready to get in - the sods have filled it with washing up liquid. It's over flowing.

I flip out.

This is the last straw, I'm always buying things to make their day nicer or lock down easier or thinking of nice dinners for them to enjoy or a book DH might like or so on and so forth.

All I wanted was to get in the fucking paddling pool.

I'm pissed off and I've had enough of all of them and told them why and now I'm the arsehole.

I always try to think of others and does anyone think of me?

Do they fuck.

I know I will get flamed, yes my fault for aiding it.

I hear you x
It’s shit that as mum and wife you get taken for granted because you just ‘do’. There seems to be a few threads like this tonight. Shall we all go on strike and leave the bastards to it?

I'd just get in it anyway.

Or make them tip it out and refill

Yes I can relate! I'm always trying to support everyone and do nice things, and please everyone! Yet no one seems to think of doing it for me, and Disney dad is amazing (though they are starting to see through his behaviour without me saying anything!)

Yep I feel like I put everyone else first and then what i want or need gets lost

How old are the other two? Was your DH still at work when this happened?
