So I have been with my boyfriend 5 years we have 2 kids together, are relationship isn't so great we are not getting on, it's horrible I'm not sure what going on but it's been going on for a while now. I'm just not happy. He's works I'm a stay at home mum and he never helps with the kids cleaning nothing. I feel so Alone, he always like your a moaning ** I'm not sure where we go from here. We speak it gets better for like a week then we are back arguing again. So hard to walk away I love him but all we do is argue and it's getting me down. Not sure why I'm writing this

Have you thought of getting a part time job. If it at least covers the child care costs, it will give you a change of scenery, a new set of people to talk to, a new opportunity for basic human contact.

It may generally refresh everything, give you more to talk to your dp about.

Might be worth a try.

I’d get a part time job if you can, to give yourself a bit of independence and work it in with childcare. Then he can help with chores!

They're not too young.

Besides, if he's your boyfriend, you need the financial security of a job.

Not too young its great for their social skills, learning and independence.

So hard isn't it? I have a 5 year old to so finding work around the school run is hard to. Staying home with kids all day every day isn't easy I'm always stressed 😩

They are not to young. Only to young if you think they are. Mine went at 7, 8 or 9 months, can't remember.

He needs to give you a break and do his share.

Not turning up when you have an interview is not on.

Looking after the kids is exhausting. What would I rather do. Go to work that's what. Much easier.
