AIBU to be bored of the grind?

[Cowsontheloose]

Hi all.
As above.
I work 16 hours a week, DH works 40. We do ok.
We have DD12.
The grind is getting to me, I work til 1, 4 days a week, the rest of the time is housework and things.
DH gets home at 6 leaving us 4-5 hours of nothing til bedtime. TV etc.
3 days a week DD does activities which require us to be out of the house til 9pm.
Weekends are no better, dancing on one day, then visits to ILs (who are ill and need household things doing) my parents. Then I'm zonked and it's Monday again. Nothing getting done in the house (diy, decorating etc) because DH tired after work and no spare time at the weekend as we do things for ILs.
Something needs to change but I honestly don't know what. Life is just so monotonous, and I'm fed up.

More of a moan really.

Sounds like you’ve got the ideal opportunity to find some new hobbies and interests! You could see what evening courses they have at your local college for example? Life can get very stale if you don’t change things up now and again and you’re lucky to be in a position to do so :)

If you are unable to do any of the DIY (but DH is?) could you up your hours and either pay for someone to come and do the work, or DH could then drop a day and do it himself.

People are being very bitchy on here towards the OP just because she "only works 16 hours".
Does "the grind" only count for paid employment or if you are "busy busy"?
There's the mental grind of life too you know.
Your mindset can get stuck and it's actually hard to change and "do" things.
Honestly people......stop trying to out do each other with your "I am considerably busier than you and I manage" crap.
Try to ignore them @Cowsontheloose .
