Back to work
I returned to a new role today and am really fortunate that I am working 2 days a week until 3:30pm and a few extra hours later in the week. My partner works a later shift so dinner, bath and bed are all me. It was so rough after being at work all day to then have to do that all on my own. Does anyone else have the same? I’d Love to know that I’m not alone with the solo evening shift as a working mum and how are you coping if you do this part of the day alone? It is tough out here! I’m presuming I’ll just get used to it as I have no other choice but my god I miss the days of finishing work and sitting on the sofa all evening🙈

My husband works shifts, so 2/4 weeks I do pick up, play, dinner, bath, bedtime alone and 1/4 weekends. It is EXHAUSTING x
it’s actually horrible isn’t it. I thought having had the day away from her I’d find it somewhat easier but the tiredness today is INTENSE. It’s nice to know it’s not just me who finds it hard but also not nice for you that you have to do it too!! 🙃
Since my daughter was born, 99% of the whole day is on me. My husband is a chef. So sometimes he starts work at 6am, those days he's home for 4/5pm, which is good. But most of the time he starts work at 10am, and doesn't get home until midnight. I haven't gone back to work yet, as I don't have a support system to help or childcare options at the moment. But I have started doing odd jobs here and there, walking people's dogs, helping elderly neighbours with things. I take my daughter with me. But it's knackering. I feel your pain love.
You’ll get used to the new routine! My husband plays no role so I work 3 days of the week and solo parent all day and night. I do the drop off, go to work, finish work, pick up and do the rest of the shift. Dinner bath bed etc etc. the days where I don’t work, is still all of the above x

Apparently if i don’t have sex with my husband i don’t love him
My husband has sent me many many many videos every day explaining why women should have sex with there husband how it’s the only way they know we love them but what about all the shit I do every day for him that should count for showing my love like how i make him a fresh meal when he gets home from work how i make him so tea when he’s sick to feel better how i make sure our son is always with me and taken care of so he doesn’t have to worry and can come home and rest how I go out of my way every day to see him on lunch so we can spend time together how i plan all the dates we have every been on and pay for all of them how I buy him anything he wants because I love him how I worked every single day when I was pregnant and even went into labor at work finished my shift drove myself how and then went to the hospital to have the baby ( he was not working at this point). Then went back to work when I was cleared to do so work all the way until he left for basic training (military) quit my job to take care of our son (what he wanted me to do) and yet I don’t love him because I won’t have sex with him weird. Not needing advice or anything just needed how I felt off my chest because
honestly I’m extremely hurt by him.

Outings as a homebody
Hey! I was wondering, as SAHMs how often are you going out with your little ones?
I try to go out every other day, even if its just walking to the grocery store and stopping at the park on the way, because I'm genuinely always tired and the chores are endless. I don't mind it though. My child is happy and we have still so many indoor activities to try, especially now that it's getting colder. Though people around me are telling me its not normal and I should be out more. (Childless people, mind you.)

Kinda wanna become a SAHM
I’ve worked all my life. I’m kind of burned out tho, and I want to experience the first year or two with my first baby bonded together but don’t want to lose the momentum of staying in the loop ( I work in phone sales ) what should I do! I know my husband would probably be ok with it… but my little part time money does help sometimes…
