I don't know if I'm in the wrong so I really need some advice. My children are 8 and 9 since they were 15 months apart I left my job to raise them full time and planned on going back working when they started school full term.
well obviously that didn't happen as my husbands job isn't flexible to help get the children and on weekends he sometimes works for an hour or two. We have no support system.
Recently I've felt so overwhelmed with life.
The only way my husband contributes to the house is paying for everything which I'm very very grateful for but that's it.
i do everything for everyone, he wouldn't even make me a coffee last Sunday because 'it's my job' while I was decorating our sons room.
christmas has just been I created the 'magic' we agreed Christmas we will spend £20 on each other ( I sold stuff on Vinted for his little gift)
he forgot to buy me anything as I didn't cross his mind. thats his words.
i cook every meal scratch as he doesn't like processed food ,wash, sort out our daughters adhd assessments and appointments, iron and even the mental loud of how a house should run.
but I feel asif no one helps me.
on the evenings he's either on his phone I try to talk and he pretends he doesn't hear so I take myself to bed early most nights to read a book, then he will come upstairs demanding a back rub and if I say no then I'm basically not a good wife who doesn't look after his needs.
sorry for this long rant.
i wish i had my own money to leave.
but should i just stick with it? Because i know during this economy many woman also have to work and do the mental load on top.
i just feel like a single married mother at her breaking point.
