I don't know what I'm feeling right now .. I'm a SAHM with Two kids with no other help.. often see my frens' Facebook n instagram posts about Husband n Wife gg out alone for Cycling , movie , overseas holidays etc without kids.. but here I am daily stuck at home or with my kids. Husband is v busy at work n every day when he is back from work, will be dead beat n not much energy For the kids so it is back to me again caring for the kids. Why is it other couples seem so relax though they also have 2-3 kids like me .. like they can have so much couple time despite having 2-3 kids like me ? Ranting :(

Cos the wife is working and probably sending kids to infantcare/childcare or have a helper so they can relax. It’s up to you how you see it. You can also do the same but can you bear to give up seeing your kids grow up and the time you’re putting in to accompany them? It’s a phase that you’re going through and you’re choosing the tougher path like me, but would u do things differently if you had another choice? If you need help, can enlist help of your parents or in-laws to take care on weekends and try to go out with hubby or a nice day out for yourself to recharge. Why bother about other people’s Facebook? How much of their own children’s interests are they sacrificing by choosing to pursue their own personal development instead of spending time with their children, behind all that lovely photos you see posted there? That you will never know. So no point to be envious. Your kids will surely grow up to be better people because they had more involved parents, especially a very involved mum like you.
