I've worked p/t these last 8 years, always round dh working and the kids so I've alays been at the school gates, there for them to cook tea, and when I'm not dh is. But it's me 90% of the time for them
And now I don't know if I've done the right thing, ds1(8) speaks to me like I'm rubbish, like he's sick of seeing me.
Maybe putting them into nursery when they were small and i might be earning enough to cover the cost of childcare. I work weekends in a shop and earn £5.45 an hour, I'd like to work during the week but childcare would cost me £6 per hour. I couldn't do 16 hrs in a shop as I childmind as well and I couldn't afford it anyway.
This is all really getting me down, I really resent dh cos he gets to go out to work, meet people who aren't school gates mums(like me) and comes home to a warm house and his tea.
I'd like to swap with him.

I've always worked round my kids so have always "been there" and now ds1 treats me like shite.
