hi all, sometimes feel like i do everything.and i am getting pretty sick of it. dh has a pretty easy job, very flexible. he works outside a lot and if the weather is bad he wont work at all, so he probably does about 30 hours a week, if that.
we live on the estate where he works, so he gets home for lunch etc.
i feel like i never get a break. since dd was born 11.5 months ago, i have never had a minute to just myself. i have never went out for the day on my own and not have to worry about dh, dd or the house.
dh has had weekends and even 5 days away on holiday with his mates.
i have hinted that i could do with a day off, but he doesnt understand i want it to be on my own. am i being selfish.
i love being a mummy and wife, i wouldnt change it for the world, but i feel i need a break, just a day to do what i want to do.
who else feels like this?
sorry i know i went of on another subject away from the subject, but i had to write it down, it is really starting to depress me, i broke down yesterday about it.
thanks for your help xxxx

Im really lucky, dh works 4 days on 4 days off and the nights, for the four days hes at home he does more than i do. he does all the washing anyway. also im allowed a night out on his day off if we've got the money. i ought to start appreciating him more

at weekends dp cooks... if i ask him to do summat eg washing the dishes or hoover up he'll do it.... but if i dont say anything then nothing will be done by him. Thursdays are long days for me as Dp at work atm, then he comes home spend an hour with us and he get ready for 2nite as hes off to play pool (as he a member of the pool team) but he looks after baba every sunday afternoons whilst im at archery.

its very important that you have time to yourself..
