Is this a "snowflake" request?

Hello all!
I am just gonna get down to it. SO I know parenting is hard- I didn't expect it to come easy. I've been parenting for the past 8 years, trying my best everyday, never taking time for myself, but recently I've been letting everyone around me down. My mental health is in the gutter and asking just for 30 minutes alone time (23h30 with kiddies) is too much. I have been doing this on my own, no downtime, no one to try take some weight from my shoulders. I've been "phasing out", withdrawn to my little corner, burnt out. I ask for help but get ignored, miss a small detail get told I suck at parenting, everything is my fault. This post is probably nonsensical so I will just ask this: I need 30 mins alone per day, is this unreasonable, is it too much to ask and if I am okay in asking for this How do I DO IT?

Why the fuck aren’t you turning the kids around and sending them straight back to the paternal unit? Why are you still with him? Do you feel loved? Cared for? I think I can answer this one.

If you left you’d likely get:

  1. the house until your kids leave home
  2. 50% of everything else
  3. child maintenance
  4. one night of a week every week (kids at dads) and
  5. every other weekend for yourself.

From what you’ve said that sounds like a way better deal than what you currently have.

My advice? Get a job then leave the fucker.
