Not the OP, but I don't think you really mean any of this nicely.


I did, but it doesn’t matter. The OP’s situation is of her own making and easily solvable, by using daycare and not having any more kids. There is no reason to be an unhappy SAHM.


Are you a SAHM? If so then you're a liar if you're saying you never have days like his.

Are you a WOHM? If so, do you never ever complain about your own job?

Either way you're being incredibly unfair and dishonest.


SAHM and no I didn't have days like this but I didn't choose to have 3 kids or more house than I can handle.

Not everyone is cut out to be a SAHM. My mom would have been terrible at it.

Wow, so you've never had a hard day and felt burnt out? I love being a SAHM, have a lot of paid help and still have hard days. That's life. Take your judgement elsewhere if you're not going to help.

Also: life comes for us all lady. You might feel pretty smug right now but trust me, something someday will rattle you and I hope you encounter more compassion than you're giving out.

Op back. I’ve been grateful reading posts gradually over a couple of days. We had a pretty good day yesterday!

-we do get out of the house a lot. I was discussing with dh, and fact is, no matter how much we get out, the house problems are still the house problems. I can sort of deflect, (and wear them out!) but the issues remain.
-I don’t clean too much. Promise if you saw collectively what a mess we have, you’d be like “woah, yeah your house smells and is sticky”

Just thankful to have some kind answers.

Lol! About kid 4. I had my tubes tied... 2 years ago. So way to go for the ^^1-2 judgmental posters. No, you’re the last thing that will bring my attitude down. My kids might, but I just have to laugh at your posts.

You are so right, OP! I am glad you had a better day. Parenting is hard, sometimes. Hug!

Shut it down. Set firm boundaries.

8 year old needs a chore chart and to be responsible or she loses privileges.

4 year old needs to participate in clean up.

De clutter. Ruthlessly.

Get kids and yourself out of the house - Park, pool, indoor play space.
