Absolutely spot on and really puts things into perspective.I don’t know if she’s deluded or just unintelligent. It’s sad but true: once you become a parent, your needs are no longer the priority because YOU chose to bring a child into the world. It wasn’t their decision. It was yours. So you have a responsibility to commit to raising them in the best way possible. She’s got everything on a plate given to her and it still isn’t enough.
I don’t know why but she’s really annoyed me this morning more than usual. Probably because at three o’clock this morning I was woken by my severely autistic 9 year old who’d wet the bed and (because he can’t stand the feeling of any liquid - bath times are a joy ) he was screaming the place down, meaning the other two children were woken. I then had to change bedding, try to settle all 3 kids, and then at 7am drag all three from their beds when they were shattered to drive them to their schools - one nursery, one primary, one special school - before logging into work at 9. I am utterly exhausted. I do it all on my own and I’m happy to do it because I chose those children but when I see Naomi whinging about not being fulfilled as I was crying trying to stop my autistic son from hitting me this morning, I really do not have any sympathy!
You're amazing, even reading what your night was like left me feeling tired! At the end of the day you know you're giving it your all parenting your children everyday and not expecting a pity party or flaunting it on social media. It annoys me because its people like you that deserve to be treated and have a well deserved break
