Do you find your kids have the potential to guilt-trip/bully you more as a single parent?

Just wondering...don't know if it's because my kids are older now, or if it's because there isn't a united parental front in the home. Ex-p is supportive and there is no animosity, but I find myself feeling quite alone sometimes, guilty for working, and for never having enough money, not able to do days out, bullied into buying things to try to assuage that. Guilty for just wanting to sit down sometimes, or do something I want to do.

Yes. Im outnumbered. I pisted about this a while back .

Ps. Im in my bedroom while my children are downstairs having commandeered the sitting room.

Sorry, didn't think my thread had posted or I would have been back earlier! It said "access denied"
It's hard, isn't it? It's almost like you don't count as a person any more, or at least not as a grown up.
