Feeling lost and lonely

[Sparklesfaded]

So mum of 2 boys, ds1 10, ds2 5yrs. Partner works long days leaves most days before 7am, home at 8pm due to long commute. Every day feels so the same, I feel so fed up and drained of the same mundane daily tasks. I've been sahm for 10 years and I feel so happy and lucky to have had that amazing time. I'm trying to look for work that fits in with school and it's looking impossible. I have no help from family through school holidays or after school. I rarely see any adults in my days, and literally spend all day cleaning, tidying, washing, organising, running errands, doing dinner, school runs , clubs. I cannot remember the last time I did something for myself. This is more a let off steam thread, I just feel so fed up of my same old life day in, day out, but then feel so guilty for feeling like this when I have such a beautiful family Anyone else feel this?

Me! 🙋🏼‍♀️ I feel like this. I say this as I have my baby clung to me refusing to go to sleep and my dh just relaxing as she won’t go down for him.

You need a break, I know it’s easier said than done but you just need some time to yourself and it needs to be a regular thing. Can your partner change shifts or take some time off to give you a break?
I suggest you speak to your partner, explain how you’re feeling and how from the moment the boys wake up to the moment you go to bed, you have no time to just unwind. You don’t have a chance to even have a meal in peace. Hopefully he’s a partner whose understanding and can help work out a new routine that works for everyone- including you!
