To want to walk out and never come back

Hi all! I am just wanting some advice on whether I am being unreasonable or not. I am losing my goddamn mind. I am so sick of lockdown and COVID and shitty 2020 so much.

I am stuck at home with a whiny 22 month old and 6 month old. I had my DD in October 2018 and I was diagnosed with gallstones not long after she was born (I’d been having the attacks throughout my pregnancy) I couldn’t really go anywhere for 6 months because I was too scared something would happen to me or her. I then had the surgery in April 2019 which was successful and I instantly felt better but I got pregnant with my DS in May 2019.

I had another rough pregnancy which caused test after test and he ended up being born in early January rather than late February, he was born at 32 weeks so 8 weeks early and he only weighed 3 lbs 8. We were in & put of hospital every other week with something new with him and we got out for good the week before lockdown was announced.

I never even returned to work after my maternity because the pregnancy was that crap that I got signed off work in November due to stress and my DD was at home every day with me.

AIBU to feel like I’ve been cooped up in this shitty situation since 2018 and when my DP offers to give me a break it is a day to myself and why don’t I take a drive out somewhere.. AIBU to feel like no amount of a break is going to compensate and especially not being forced out of my house, even when I stay in the house to get a break there is bloody housework to get on with.

I can absolutely see where you’re coming from. You’re now at the bottom of the pile of things to do. And I’d love a day to myself in the house. Going out isn't quite as relaxing. It seems like you haven’t had much chance for ages to go and be you and work will be a big part of that. Don’t cut your hours. If you enjoy your job it will make you feel like an adult person rather than a mum with no chance of a decent conversation.
