Mum to 3 ds and I hate every single living day. Why I had 3 of them I really don't know because I hate kids, they bore and annoy me. Don't get me wrong i love them and care for them they want for nothing but I don't actually like them. Im such a horrible person for even feeling like this they deserve so much better this.Sad
I'm sick of the same mundane crap day after day I literally sit and cry a lot of the time I'm just empty.
If I had the financial means I would walk out the door and never come back. I've even thought about how I could end it all. My dh is a great Dad and husband I love him dearly. Although he's not a talker or one for showing emotion he does see that I struggle and helps out as much as he can he's probably the only reason I continue with this so called life .
Sorry just needed to rant

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I have 4 dcs, I found that saying no to some child related things really helps. I only have 1 boy, hes my youngest (8). My Dh is in charge of playing the rough and tumble games, camping, lego etc as they don’t float my boat. I chat with Ds, mess about, take him places etc. After years of doing stuff that made my unhappy I don’t anymore.

OP how do you feel 5 years later? I’m in the same position you were with 3 boys and can’t stand it now (And don’t know how I had 3 too). I became a mum at 17 and at almost 28 Felt I have done nothing for MYSELF, realise recently my youth is running out and want to run away, find myself and experience a bit of fresh life x

I’m sorry you feel this way, parenting is so hard I know… you need to see your GP.
I absolutely LOVE all kids but still find my own two quite a hard (but lovely) work.
Do you mind me asking why did you have 3 kids if you don’t like kids?

I would work more if I could afford the extra child care.

Is your DH helping with childcare payments?
