[quote=Anonymous]OP I don't think you hate weekend parenting. I think you hate weekends. Because of your kids and all the stuff you have to do when you're not working, it seems like work is you break. But the fact is you never get a break, it's just that work is easier.

On a different note, I am in a totally different situation but I actually hate weekend "parenting" too. I am a SAHM and I homeschool one of my two kids. It's hard to homeschool him (special needs), but for five hours I just have one thing I need to do: school. We have a routine for school and the rest of the day (morning and evening extracurriculars, dinner, etc) and it's the same every day. After school, because I have spent time with one kid during the day, I feel okay letting him do his own thing and then hanging out with my oldest one-on-one. I wouldn't say my days are easy but they are rewarding.

But on weekends I have way more balls up in the air, there's far less structure, and there are two kids instead of just one. It's definitely not as bad as what OP is going through, but it is weird to me that I hate weekends so much. I have started to insist on my husband taking the kids for an hour during weekends so I can have some time to myself, and that has been helpful. I still always look forward to Mondays. [/quote]
