[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't enjoy parenting. Diapers. Screaming. Tempter tantrums. I have no friends in my life because all I do - all I ever fucking do - is parent. I literally have zero friends. I don't do any of the things I used to enjoy anymore. I don't go out. I don't ski. I can't go to a movie, or have brunch, or even go for a hike, or have a beer with a friend, or anything. I don't excercise - cause I'm up from 6am to 8pm either at work or with the kids, then I get to clean and spend my time crawling into bed, nervously hoping the kids don't get up. Day in. Day out. There's never a break, never a day off, never a moments rest. I'm cooking, cleaning, running errands, putting out fires, and dealing with all sorts of zero-reward crap. I feel like my life is basically an unrelenting excercise in just coping with stress. If its not one kid, its the other. The moments where something pleasant happens are gone in a microsecond; replaced by some other fucking todo. I go to work to escape my kids because I can't stand my weekends anymore. My weekend is Monday. I dread Saturday and Sunday. My wife won't hire a babysitter because she feels guilty, so I'm stuck at home every day of my life. I don't have the money for a cleaning lady or a nanny. Drop off kids, work, pick them up, deal with screaming and crying, repeat. again and again.

Life with two kids is just miserable. Maybe one day this will get easier. I hope.
