I just don’t understand how she is struggling so much!
I have four children, 2 teenagers, a school aged child and a breastfeeding toddler, I too live in a four bedroom house which is actually much larger than hers (not meaning to sound a twat just for comparison), my lounge is probably the size of both her lounge and kitchen, plus a playroom, large kitchen, three bathrooms etc. I have a large active dog and a husband that is out of the house 12 hours a day when you include commuting. Yet he comes in to dinner, he isn’t expected to help get everything ready for the next day - he does help without being asked if something needs doing though. The house is cleaned during the day when it’s just me and my toddler and dinner cooked once school aged child is home. Saturday mornings uniforms are washed and then ironed on a Sunday before swimming lessons at 9:30. I don’t expect my husband to get up at weekends so I can stay in bed, we get up together because family time is precious.
I just honestly don’t understand her. She’s always seems to be rushed off her feet but does nothing? And just to add - I too have things going on other than home life, my dad has both Parkinson’s and cancer so needs support, my mum also has severe brain damage after several strokes. But I plan my time well and get shot done. She needs to stop bloody moaning about how hard done by she is a crack on with life!
