When you become a parent you plan it to be part of a team, my parents divorced, I wanted better for my kids. But here I am, doing it all. From wake up to bedtime I am doing everything for my children and our home, after bedtime I'm so exhausted I just tidy up and go to bed too. Their dad goes to work and thinks he is a god because of that, he works long shifts and that grants him the excuse to do nothing with the kids or home. When he comes home, he sits and has down time or catches up with friends. I don't have down time, knowing I have to be at 5 something which is when the babies wake, I can't afford to sit and chill I need my sleep. He has tomorrow off so will lay in bed all morning, I haven't had a lay in since I became a mum nearly 3 years ago with my first. I'm so tired and resentful. You expect you'll be a team, the one person who should help share the load, isn't interested. And to top that off I have to pay half of everything too. I do everything and yet still pay half. He can't afford to support us all even with all the hours he does, and my savings are dwindling fast. I can't go on like this. I guess I'm sharing for some support or someone else's experience with similar. Thanks for getting this far x
