Merry Christmas to all other SAHP's

[yorkshirepudsx]

Hi all!!

With Christmas fast approaching I just wanted to take the time to say Merry Christmas!

As we all know - we don't get the Christmas party's, the bonuses or gifts from bosses. We don't get to dress up and go all out feeling our best.
For us, the work actually increases over the festive period and more often than not, we end up burnt out!
I've been so stressed working out how we're going to afford XYZ, if my little one is going to be happy with his gifts (which I know he will, but I'd give him the world if I could!)
Then of course, organising Christmas Day & Christmas dinner for my little family + 8 guests, I don't have enough seats or plates🤭 then the wrapping, my GOD the wrapping!!! 🤯🤯🤯

So I'm just here to say - I feel you, I see you! And I know things may seem like a huge marathon, all just for one day! - But please let yourself have a merry little Christmas too! Whether it's a short but sweet 5 minute bath with a crappy bath bomb, or a sneaky half glass of wine once the kids are in bed 🤗
We get so caught up in the worries and stress of it all, so don't forget to give yourself some time this year, even if it's just 5 mins! Or let yourself eat that box of chocolates whilst you hide from the kids 🙈
I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and best wishes for the new year❤️❤️❤️

Ok just realised this is the sahp parent page. I get it. My bad. Enjoy Xmas

If you search indoor snowballs on Amazon there's loads!! 😄

OP please don't explain yourself to the grinches on this thread. Your life is none of their business and you don't have to justify yourself.
People love finding fault in what others have said and picking it apart.
You could've posted the sweetest, most eloquent thing ever written and there'd be a twat (or 10) on here ready to lay into you!

Sod the lot of them ☺️😘

Merry Christmas! I hope you have a great one 🎄💖

This made me cry. I'm dreading the two weeks they're all home. Dp still sit on his ass (because he's on holiday) while I still do everything around him. No time if here just more to do with no thanks.

I wish I worked but then I'd wish I didn't.

Happy Christmas to you all 😍 🎅🎄 xxx

Ps. I've now seen some of the comments.

I've been a working single mum and now am a sahm. Believe me, being a working single mum was better. This is boring, lonely, depressing and thankless. We could not have managed lockdown with us both working. I love the time I get with my children but the rest is depressing.

The grass is not greener.
