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. |
Dollars to donuts OP will go for #4. |
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. |
