I’m sick of everything

[Merryoldgoat]

Why do you realistically do when you’re sick of everything?

My children are driving me mad

I’ve changed my diet completely and I’m doing well but all I’m fucking doing is cooking or washing up or planning lessor shopping

Laundry literally never ends

The house stays tidy for about an hour

I’m exhausted.

I feel like getting divorced so I at least get half the week alone.

Im just over everything.

You sit your DH down and tell him he needs to share the load.

Vodka and Red Bull, usually.

And absolutely make sure you carve out an hour for yourself. Mine is either early while everyone is still in bed, or late when everyone has gone to bed. Me-time is important.

Divorce worked for me. I finally got a break.

Yes I feel the same. Not just my job or the domestic stuff, just everything. Nothing to feel hopefully about at the moment, stagnation and things going backwards. I just feel tired of life and the domestic stuff is hard because of it. I feel I have outgrown the madness and stupidity of this world and just want to move ahead of it now.

I posted before the queen's announcement that it feels like there is a paradigm shift in the world, but things have to collapse a bit first. The queen's death seems to add to that feeling (although I thought she was a good queen and am sad about her death).

Not sure what to suggest apart from just detaching from it all.

Leave the housework/washing up/laundry for a couple of days. It won’t be the end of the world.

Order a takeaway.

Have a loooong bath.

Get a babysitter and go out for the evening.

Book a weekend away.

Book a holiday.

Sorry - I disappeared down gin and Prosecco.

TBF he does do his share - we just have a tricky time as both boys have SEN and DH works in town.

He does all the cooking, does the kids lunches and breakfasts, shared cleaning and does bedtimes it’s just the reality more falls to me because I’m home more and work near home.

@Skethylita

I really need to do that but it’s so hard. I’m seriously considering a 2-night break completely alone.

Thank you everyone.

After the youngest pissed a torrent on the living room floor I text DH ranting.

He came home with wine and sent me off for a rest.

Its just hard sometimes.

I need more fun and time alone and I need to ensure I sort that.
