Is this how life is?

Sorry, need some perspective as not in a good place. Also had serious mental health issues earlier this year which I’m overcoming.

I think a lot of the problem is my lazy family who seem to leave the majority of the work s d mental load to me. I work ft. 7 and 11 year old dds. One kind husband who also works ft but seems to think that’s all he needs to do.

The house is a tip (which I’m sorting slowly) I seems to be working or cleaning/ tidying or sleeping and that’s it! Added to that I’m grumpy and so my attitude towards the family is sonetimes poor.

I organise everything every club, school, Christmas.

Dh is doing the dishwasher now as I’ve shouted and basically gone on strike watching tv in bed.

Is this life? One of drudgery with no rest, watching lazy family sit and watch tv, play and make a mess. How do I change things as I’m now thinking straight and walking out seems to me the best option right now

Ie No, it’s not how life is if you don’t want it to be
