I can’t do this, I’m finding it really difficult.
My partner has just gone back to work and is working a lot at the moment and we can’t afford to not have him working but I have long days with the kids and I’m exhausted. I work full time myself and I’m feeling really burned out.

Today I had planned to clean my house as it’s in desperate need for it but how do I do that when I have three kids and my youngest two just argue constantly. It doesn’t help I’m not very well either and I’ve got the house to sort out, loads of washing to do for uniforms and to bath all the kids and myself.

to everyone else this is just life and yet I can’t do it. I’m sat in the kitchen trying to hide my crying from the kids as all they’re doing is arguing and fighting. How do I do this, how do people do this? Why am I so crap at being a human or am I just lazy

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources.
You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
