im tired and feel guilty for working!

[esmebaby]

i work 5 days a week for my mum in her shop, at first i thought it'd be great but now im knackered! its only a small shop so only i work there except for one day when my mum does it, she also has a full time job.
the good thing is i get to take my daughter if her daddy is working (which is most days!)but im starting to feel im missing out as i dont get to do things other peoplei know with kids do, like go to the park, swimming or days out.
to make me moan even more on the days she stays with her daddy i have to get up with enough time to get myself ready for work and get her wadshed and dressed whilst he lies in till i need to leave, leaving me to run around!
i havent had one lie in since our little girl was born,not once has he said, "its ok, you lie in ill get up with her."
im shattered and tearful, i wish i could work pAart time but we need the money. any one else experience anything remotely like this?
rant over x

Hello. Why do you have to get DD dressed when her dad is looking after her? I think that's totally unreasonable. Have you tried talking to him about this? Sometimes I think men aren't great at noticing if we're struggling and need to have it pointed out in fairly strong terms. My DH is pretty perceptive but has told me that if I'm having a hard time I need to tell him cos he may not notice. You sound absolutely shattered and in need of a proper break so I don't think it's unreasonable to ask your partner to get up with DD at least once a week to give you a lie in. I hope you feel better soon

when you both work, you both need to share the chores more equally

it isn't on that he lies in bed whilst you dash about - you need to say something so that you don't feel so stressed

i work full time and it is knackering at times

make the weekends special - lots of time then for visiting parks etc
