Nobody realised

nobody in my life actually realizes how much I do . When any family members come here(rarely) they always find something to moan about . I am a single mother and apart from housework there's work and managing children an their behaviour/education/ needs as well . It's very disheartening to be on the end of the phone to my father who says "are you due on?" Or my aunt who says you sound tired ? In a very surprised tone , oh and then there's my brother who means about cobwebs , a shelf loose , a messy bedroom -"what do you do all day ? " he asks . The ignorance of it makes me angry because I don't think they actually have to do the work that I do and yet they get a hell o a lot more respect than men ... I would never put them down about things ....

I hear you. Completely oblivious to anything that’s been done.

I hear you too. My family are terrible for this. I'll have been at work all day, juggled a hundred other things and they'll spot and point out a plant that needs repotting..

Gosh OP, can you keep them away from your life a bit more? That's awful.
