I worked a nightshift last night on a busy hospital ward. My husband was working today, so I had no child care. I've been awake 36 hours and have had to look after two hyper kids under 4, and a miserable teen!!Poor Emma getting up at 6, when chesta goes bed at 7. He might aswell be a newborn with that sleeping pattern. It must be so hard. I’ve had a easy night been up since 2 with my little boy and crying in the car now as I have work till 6pm and I can barely function.
We've taken a woodland walk which ended up with me carrying my 1 year old, and my 4 year olds scooter most of the way because I forgot the pushchair is in my husbands car!
We also made cakes and cookies, watched Encanto for the millionth time and cooked a sunday roast together!
On top of that all the dishes to wash, 3 loads of washing and drying clothes, hoovering and mopping throughout.
I've just finished ironing all the school uniforms and doing packed lunches, bathed and put my daughters to bed with a story. Ive been up and down the stairs several times because my 1 year old wont settle, and all I want to do is go to bed.
I don't want a medal or a pat on the back, I know I work damn hard like many mums and dads up and down the country, and we just get on with it.
I just wish Emma and Gary would wake up and realise how bloody fortunate they are, to both be at home with their children.
They don't have to get up to go to work or worry about childcare, spending their days off cramming in housework, running errands and doing activities with the kids, because you've been in work all week and feel guilty for not spending time with them!
All these influencers moan how hard they have it, wouldn't last 5 minutes in my job or any job for that matter!
Stain on society the bloody lot of them!!
Sorry for the rant
