I'm not coping with parenthood. The stressful daily routine, ensuring everything and everyone is all goodand got what they need.
I feel so alone, even though I'm with my partner (the children's father).
Judgment from his family. I'm not contact with my own family. I have no friends whatsoever (no one talks to me anymore).
I can't stand that we can barely afford to live. But a lot of it is out of my control.
Sometimes I feel like me and my partner aren't on the same wave length.
This is not what I wanted when I decided to become a parent.
I'm slowly resenting my partner because of the following :
He rarely talks about what he wants for the kids or house. He talks about his wants. I'm the one who brings up wanting to do more with the kids.
I swear financially he's in it for himself. For example we always seem to be financially good for when it comes to his birthday and Christmas presents but when it comes to the kids we're suddenly struggling. This Christmas was an eye opener.
Note: I had get a few 2nd hand toys for our three children. With him he got brand new items for his hobbies. Which cost alot.
When I said about getting the girls more he told me he couldn't afford it.
I felt gutted. When my in-laws came down and said they wanted to go to the shop. I said I wanted to go to the toy shop, which I used my credit card to get the girls more gifts. I felt rubbish that my partner had way more to open. Even the girls asked to open some of our gifts.
It was so heart breaking.
I hate it when he says things we should be doing or that. But what he means is what I should be doing. When I brought that up he keeps saying "I definitely mean we should be doing this together" But he never does the thing 'we' should be doing together.
He complains about the amount of time I'm on my phone.
But the difference is, is that I'm listening to stuff while I'm cleaning or preparing meals. Where's he is sat watching what ever is on his phone doing nothing.
He rarely cleans. The only time he would if he know I'm annoyed with him or is asked.
He won't do stuff for our family on own. For example if we need something we either have to go as a family or I go on my own. I have to plan everything for our children.
I feel so bad for our children. I feel like a failure as a parent.
Sorry for my rant. Thank you for your time.
