I often feel I'm taken for granted at home (husband but admittedly an 11year old and 3 year old).... Not sure anyone other than the 3 year old has ever helped with hoovering/cleaning and cooking.
But today his football team were in a final, it meant taking him and the eldest to London for the day. They left at 8am. The 3 year old woke me up poorly at 5am for the day and husband wondered why I was slightly grumpy when he got up at 7:30.
He didn't text once through the day to see how she was...I had no idea that he missed the train home and would be an hour later than expected. (only found out as the eldests dad text me to say they had called him to talk about the match.... Didn't call me, not even a courtesy text)
Stayed up to see them and they came in at 10:40pm, husband did nothing whilst I put the eldest to bed (didn't mind too much as got to discuss his day). Husband then declared how tired he was and went to bed (currently still scrolling through tiktok 20minutes later and just got off a call from his dad about the match from what I can hear upstairs).
I deal with the youngest 4am wake up every day as he 'doesnt hear'.
I just feel really alone. I've literally spoken to him for 20minutes all day and I'm mentally exhausted, really struggling and overwhelmed and he doesn't seem to care or even notice it. I know today was a one off occasion and dont begrudge him going at all (worth the disclaimer before people say it doesn't happen often) .... But at least a text would have been nice to see how she was or even how I was doing...
