Depressed never getting a break

[aAaAaAaAhh]

Im feeling so depressed never getting a break from my kids. I can’t explain how much happier I would have been to get every other weekend to myself! All the single mums I know get eow free which might not seem like a lot but that would be loads to me. It’s starting to depress me. They’d also be happier. Is anyone else in the same boat?

A lot of single mother don't have any weekends off.

And im one of them, but Thats why I said the ones I know…

I’m a single mother without that but my son has a big sister on his dad’s side. She’s older in her twenties and my son stays there once a week. With her family too and I’m so grateful for that. I think I’d go insane without that one night to myself a week. Do you have any family you could ask?

I understand girl

I am homeschooling dd and we are sick of eachother - she is pre verbal but her actions indicate this 😫😫

My family won’t help, I would ask if they would but they won’t sadly so that’s not an option here

You could oay a babysitter.

Well I don’t have the money but thanks for your contribution, im asking if other single mums can relate

Also what baby sitters look after kids for the weekend? Imagine that would cost an absolutely fortune im not talking about a couple of hours to myself

I'm sorry their Dad(s) aren't involved op, it must be really hard having no real time to yourself.

How odl are they? Are they in school yet?

Dad

Do they go to school? Do you work? Could you book the odd annual leave day when there're at school?

Yes they go to school, I am working then and spend all day on my feet so that’s not a break, I was more just venting and asking if anyone can relate

Is there anyway you could condense your hours to get even a half day early finish? Just to carve out a little time for yourself?

That is so hard. Can you use any of your leave to take a day off whilst they're at school?
