My DH and I have been married for 6 years but together for 8, almost 9 years. We have 2 DCs 6yrs and 4 yrs. I am seeing light at the end of the tunnel that we are out of the baby/toddler years. Our 4 yr old is going to school next September.
It’s been hard on me as I work full time in a profession that is very stressful and demanding job. I’m the main breadwinner. I do most of the cooking and laundry. I do have a cleaner. It’s definitely not equally shared load but that’s a whole different thread. I was feeling resentful and not sure at times if I could carry one.
But we have had great holidays and enjoy taking the children. Even though travelling long haul is really hard work with young kids. We enjoy family time and try to make the most of weekends doing something fun.
This year although it has been awful due to corona virus it has helped us spend more time as a family unit and a couple and also remembering why we like spending time together. Having fun again even if it is a at home. Now that we are not so sleep deprived. ( 2nd dc also a terrible sleeper).
My DH dad is helping him with an investment which in 5 years time if it pays off could really improve our family finances. Helps me to feel like again their is light and I won’t be shouldering the full responsibility of the family finances.
Anyone else been in the same situation and felt you have managed to overcome the problems to rebuild their relationship?
