Older kids but still drowning
I’m a full-time working mom of two kids (9f and 6m). I get two Mondays off a month. My husband works from home full time but his job is very demanding and he barely has time to take lunch, usually just eats while he works. We don’t have family to help.
We are drowning. I always thought as the kids got older it would get easier but it absolutely has not. Instead of daycare and potty training now it’s activities 4-5 days a week. Laundry has not eased. The house is always dirty.
We’ve tried the house cleaner route but paid through the a** with two different companies and honestly they didn’t do that great of a job.
We are so burnt out and honestly I’m at a loss. I feel like I’m doing it wrong. All I do is chores and I still can’t keep up and I’m missing out on time with my kids. My husband works hard around the house too and does the majority of the cooking.
I feel like a failure. I feel like other families spend time together having fun and we are just always behind and stressed. Anyone relate? Anyone had this and made changes and it helped??
