I have changed my nickname as I want to remain private.
I have 2 DD's, just turned 2 years and 8 months and I live with DH, work 4 days a week shift work and I have parents for support who help look after the girls, sounds great hey, so whats the problem..... My days off with the girls.
Although I love my girls to bits but at times I actually feel rage, not towards them, but rage that I do not get a single minute to myself and I end up getting so stressed out and cross I feel I am not to a proper job.
We wanted children, but DD2 wasn't planned to arrive so quickly after DD1, but now at times I get annoyed at the fact that I can't even do anything round the house or even go the toilet at times on my own.
Being an only child I was bought up having LOADS of time on my own so I think this is why I am finding it hard to deal with. I know I know if you want time on your own then don't have children but I never knew I woud feel this way.... I wouldn't say I am depressed but at times the whole motherhood thing is so overwhelming especially when you have two children wanting to be fed/clenaed/held etc that I end up having an internal argument withmyself!
Do other mums feel like me? I wouldn't hurt my girls but it shocks me sometimes at how angry I get. I have told DH that I find it hard at times but he doesn't understand how hard it is sometimes. He looks after the girls at the weekend when I am work but he seems to manage!
Advice and reassurance needed please!
