So fed up of the mental load

[boobooboy]

Argh not sure if I’m just feeling moody because I’m heavily pregnant and feeling absolutely rotten with Covid but I am honestly just so fed up with always having to think ALL
THE BLOODY TIME!

DH does his fair share of domestic chores, works hard etc but being ill has really made me aware of all the little things I still have to remember. For example, booking parents evening, getting shopping in for harvest festival, making sure the uniform has been washed, deciding what we are going to eat for dinner, even something silly as deciding what to put on TV. It’s just absolutely exhausting.

I just want to curl up and be left alone as I don’t feel well. But still having to work from home and deal with domestic life on top. Feeling sorry for myself! Would love to just book into a hotel and disappear for a few days

You're ill. Let him decide dinner and what to watch. Just don't do those little things.

I do get what you mean. It’s seems the admin for every small task has multiplied 10 fold recently. Little things like self service check outs. My current bugbear is paying council tax, can’t do it online as it won’t accept my address, automated phone line doesn’t work either. Can’t seem to set up a direct debit that works so I have to spend half an hour phoning the council every month!

I feel like this even without Covid sooooo yeah 👍🏻

shit isn’t it 🫣
