To feel a bit gutted it will be 2027 before I get the house to myself

I work two days a week; these are the days DH wfh.

I have a two year old who goes to nursery on my working days. The rest of the week she’s obviously with me.

I have realised I won’t therefore have the house to myself until 2027, when my two year old starts school!

I don’t know why it’s suddenly hit me! Probably because I saw a day for school aged children advertised on 2nd January. My toddler goes to nursery but I won’t be back until the Monday so I thought I could have a day ‘off’ but if DH is there I’ll just feel I’m in the way.

Could your DS go to holiday club every so often?

Is there a friend who can have them is DH is useless?

I'm a single mum to two and I work at the same school as a TA. We are home together, go to school together, at school together, go home together and have the same days off.
It's a very very rare occasion someone will take my two 7 and 3 year old.
But I'm very grateful for the times I have to myself which is literally like once or twice a year lol.

From one burnt out mumma to the other.. I hope you get that well earned break. It's so difficult I love my children and I don't need a break from them. It's just a break from the constant demand and being needed.
