I feel like I’m cursed. Can’t do anything right and constantly judged or treated badly

[Persecution]

AIBU to be so so fed up. I feel like expectations are too high and no matter how hard I try I get criticised for everything. It’s getting me down

Just a few examples from recently
-couldn’t attend a parents evening as had to work and had no childcare. Got emailed and told how disappointed the school were and how we aren’t making an effort at such an important point in our dc school life . We were told we had to fill a form in explaining our reasons for absence.

-spoken to like rubbish at a medical appointment for dc when I’m just trying to do my best. Concerns dismissed so left feeling anxious and belittled.

-tried to cook something and went totally wrong the other night

-I’m tired and snappy I’m juggling too much

Many other things and I just feel overwhelmed and judged all the time . I make such an effort to be organised and we have to prioritise work . I have no family nearby to help. I have no friends

I feel unappreciated and overworked and overwhelmed

Working and having kids is a total nightmare! Always juggling with an ever growing 'to do' list. Sometimes we have upsetting interactions with professionals who are supposed to be helpful. That is upsetting too. If you feel like your medical issue has not been listened to then it might be worth getting another appointment with a different GP. The news papers are full of people complaining that they haven't been listened to properly and had important issues missed. Primary schools are also very demanding of parents time and input they seem to expect a parent to be in school for something at least once a week!! Don't they know we have jobs/mortgages/ rent/ bills! At my infant school the receptionist is just like the one in Motherland (watch that on BBC iplayer to make yourself feel better!) If you were 1 minute after the bell you would have to fill in a sheet saying why you were late and how you could do better! What a nightmare! I had another school to drop off to as well so filling in the form was just making me later!! I would say try to make life easier for yourself. Don't cook a complicated meal after a long day. Pizza is fine! If people want fancy food they can order a take away and pay for it. Try to cut yourself some slack. There is a really good saying I heard on Mumsnet at the end of the day ' All fed, nobody dead - good day'. Hope you are feeling more positive soon! P.s. I have bought some multi vitamins with iron! I don't know if that is really helpful but makes me feel better! Good Luck.
