To desperately want to work part time but hate that I can’t

[HolyGuacamole28]

I have 2 DDs, 2 and 4. I’ve worked full time since both were 10 months, use a nursery. DH also works FT. I’m the breadwinner, earn alot more than H. I have to work full time to afford our lives. H is self employed and earns little. I’m burnt out, stressed, not performing at work and fed up. I do most of the early mornings and kid/house admin. I just work and then it’s kids (bedtimes are awful all round) no time for me. Can’t even find time for a hair cut. I’d love to work part time but it’s a fairy tale. Anyone been there to give me hope?

I’ve felt like this for years BUT I can feel it finally changing. My kids are 7 & almost 5, and life feels so much easier and more manageable now! I honestly thought I was having a breakdown last year and then this year, things feel just normal! It will pass - you just have to weather the storm

Dh needs to pull his head out of his arse to be Frank! He either finds a better paid job so you can cut down after keeping the family afloat for so long or he does more around the house sounds like he has his cake and is happily eating it
