Fed up of 'special' days supposedly for me with 2 kids and an adult kid.
He plans ridiculous over-the-top meals with absolutely no planning whatsoever and I'm stuck with screaming hungry kids whilst it takes him 1.5 hours to make pancakes.
We finally get breakfast at 10am. He then announces he's put a joint of meat in the oven and we're having a full roast dinner at 12oclock?!!!
The kids are crying, we are planning a morning walk, it's too late now as little one needs to nap and won't nap in his pushchair. I wrestle them into their clothes regardless. He needs me to watch the kids so he can peel veg he says.
My heart sinks.
All I want is a bath. One bath.
He tells me I can lie-in this morning but accidentally left me with the baby monitor who wakes me just as I'm dropping back off to sleep. He's in the eldests bedroom asleep in HER bed as she plays on the floor. He hasn't a clue that he left the baby monitor with me.
I burst out crying as I'm wrestling the kids into clothes after all this and proclaim "ENOUGH! I don't want any MORE FOOD!'" and burst into tears. Told him I don't want a roast.
I WANT A REST AND FRESH AIR!
I am losing the will here...
He tells me I'm a "selfish git."
I'm now in the bath crying.
Seriously can't take my foot off the pedal for even a day. He can't organise himself one jot or think about what's important.
I know we're all feeling overwhelmed right now, I was banking on Mothers Day to actually get a bit of time to think and reflect on everything after worrying about childcare since the announcements and DH burying his head in the sand as usual.
Fed up.
My eldest is now upset that I'm upset on Mother's Day. I feel guilty, but I just want to be left alone. In the bath.
Father's Day- he takes himself off to watch sport with his Dad for the day. If he does that, surely he understands what I truly need today?
Feel really disappointed.
