Yeah I’m a mix here too - im hugely privileged to have mine and I love the weekends with them, and the same time miss my week but that’s cus I love my job while they’re at school I never “dread” the weekends though, that is concerning. The hardest part of the day (imho) is the night anyway, which makes the weekday/weekend element irrelevantThat isn’t always the reality of kids though especially in the early years when they’re small it can be more of a “getting through it with your sanity intact” at times. Sarah’s are older so she should be getting to an easier stage but she is too busy sending them to every after school activity known to man to avoid parenting them.
Same here, we get the occasional Sunday’s and always make sure we’re doing something nice or out for the day. It really is awful the way she talks about her kids. Christmas will be here before she knows it and there’s plenty of things she could be doing, even as simple as going a walk or a drive to see other houses xmas lights (I loved doing this when I was wee and still do it now with the kids)My husband works EVERY weekend. We literally never get family time all together and my kids are both under 5. Yes I do find it hard at times but I really struggle with her stories about Friday dread and how hard she has it, she hasn’t a clue!
No I completely get the baby years are tough. I meant though kids Sarah's age. Theyre both old enough now to be that much more independent ect.That isn’t always the reality of kids though especially in the early years when they’re small it can be more of a “getting through it with your sanity intact” at times.

I mean don’t get me wrong. It’s not idyllic the kids fight and argue etc etc ya know, normal kid stuff. But none of that is any different whether I’m alone or my husband is here. It’s just normal life nothing to do with a husband in the navyI love a Friday! Get home, put on our comfies, something easy for tea, screen time, movies, sometimes a game. School uniform all in the wash, just pottering around knowing we’ve got nothing to rush for. Best part of the week!
I just cannot fathom out why she'd get dread!I wonder if any staff from the school see her posts? If so there must be some support they can offer her? Its not normal to get this 'friday dread'. I guess though she has to want the help.
She doesn’t seem to have seen them in foreverHer besties Lucy & Jess met up again without her. That has got to sting.
