Having it all

[IndecisiveMama]

I resent my spouse. I know I get no prizes for doing it all but ... who else will get shit done? 3 teenagers, 3 dogs and a job and I am so tired. I earn the money, do pretty much all the chores and 80% parent (my maths!!!) the teenagers.. How do YOU make the balance work for your family? I am fed up of being fed up - it's not good for any of us!

I hear you.

I stated refusing to do things that cannot be refused. I started with food shopping. I don’t do it now, husband does it. Turns out he was perfectly capable.

im happy to live on toast, so not bothered if there’s no shopping!

4 teens and 4 ddogs here op!!
Dh is sf so I don't expect him to do much.

2 do their own laundry..
I enter their bedrooms if absolutely necessary.
Nag for dishes now and again.
Nag for bins emptied often.
Main meal - take it or make your own.

Took up gardening and wish I had sooner... Fab for your mh. Cancels out Teen Torture.

Ime.
