Sorry - moan alert!! That's why I love Mumsnet you can let off steam here.
I'm am feeling so tired at the moment. Everything in life seems so hard to handle. I don't seem to stop from the moment I get up in the morning until the time I go to bed. I look around me at home and just don't seem to be keeping on top of things as much as I'd like to. I know I should let things go a little but if I feel so much better if I can keep on top of things at home.
I have two DDs who are 8 and 5. They seem to want so much from me and I feel bad that I don't give them enough time. DD2 even said to me yesterday mummy you are always saying you are too busy .
I work part time as a temp sec and my shifts vary and job can change from one week to the next. That can be quite stressful at times.
My mum is not of great health and I feel she depends on me and my sister more than she probably realises. I'm constantly worrying if she's ok.
My step-dad has been ill for years and is back in hospital again - the second time in less than two months. So when I'm not working at the hospital, I'm taking mum to visit as she is unable to drive.
I just feel I'm doing too much and at the same time kicking myself as I know other people have much more to deal with than me and they cope, so why can't I?
I was a SAHM for eight years and went back to work at the end of last year.I'm starting to wonder whether or not I should have gone back to work as yet. I get days where I feel I want to be at home giving all I can to my family and home instead of rushing around going to work and worrying about other stuff. But again - other people manage it, why can't I?
I sound like a right winge bag don't I?

Do you feel like there's just so much do all the time and you never stop. I'm like that at the moment.
