Im so fed up today, really i am.
My husband (well thats what hes supposed to be) has gone out all day to the races with work mates and he will probably not be back till late tonight. I am in the house with the kids all day as i have a really sore back so it makes things twice as difficult. We have 4 children. He spent all last week driving his cousin to places as he came from abroad to visit so i was left with the kids all week whilst he did the things with his cousin, i cooked their tea, i put them to bed and i bathed them with a very painful back. He then went out clubbing with his cousin last Saturday and now hes gone out all day today knowing full well i have a very painful back. To be honest im really struggling with the children, i don't like to admit it as he sees that as a sign of weakness and will start telling me i should not have had kids ect. Im fed up that he has fun whilst im struggling with a bad back. I asked him to go go as i need a break as these kids are hard work but he refused and still went. I find it really difficult to keep my anger under control when he goes out because i resent the fact he still has his freedom and i am stuck with 4 kids. Yes you could say its my own fault for having kids with him but i didn't know he would turn out to be so selfish. He says im a moaning cow because i express my views to him on this and makes me feel like i cant object to it. I am a SAHM, he works but he does get his breaks more than i do.
Im being really snappy with the kids and i am easily stressed out by the kids, i have a short temper all the time now. I hate it. I shout at the kids a lot because they never listen to me but im expected to cope because 'im a mum'
Im so depressed, i feel guilty on kids because i can no longer cope with them. I do the same things day in day out with nothing to look forward to. Hes 9 years older than me...(im 26, hes 35) and he seems to think he knows best. He manipulates me when he wants to go out because he says 'They are in bed so you cant complain about me going out'
I feel like walking away from them all because i dont think im a good mum and i dont think i ever wil be with me feeling like this.
