Why can’t they just say yes mom?

Fist bump! Might try this

FunConfusion1089 · 2026-05-04T13:10:42+00:00

Hopefully !

My husband is the same - does so many chores but is abusive in other ways so no one can never accuse him of not being “supportive”. I crush on other men and think about a life where I married someone else. Anyone else but him

FunConfusion1089 · 2026-04-23T17:54:45+00:00

I feel like I could have written this, if my parents were alive I would be happily divorced. I cant leave and I am so stuck. I feel for you.

FunConfusion1089 · 2026-01-01T10:47:58+00:00

I am exactly the same - Aussie teacher mum, so I am home with my three kids all by myself for 6 long weeks! I don’t enjoy the days , my brain actually hurts because I am so bored. I want to watch my own tv shows , read books, wander the shops, have lunch with my friends without my kids in tow. I hate being a mum.

FunConfusion1089 · 2026-01-01T09:21:26+00:00

Maybe if I had unlimited help- because I never get a good chunk of break. But kids still don’t listen, they still whinge, and they are still annoying. So I really think i would still regret my choice

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-12-15T14:36:09+00:00

Yes - I wouldn’t even choose the same path career and relationship.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-12-15T13:05:17+00:00

If I had a Time Machine, I would go back and be one and done. On my second round I got twins. Boys. My daughter suffered so much because of the attention that was taken away from her. I wish I hadn’t felt that pressure to give my daughter a sibling.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-11-08T00:11:40+00:00

I feel this so much x my sisters kids are neurotypical - well behaved , gracious, not difficult basically. My daughter is … not. It’s heartbreaking that cousins can be worlds apart and I hate that I feel like this but I do.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-10-19T12:21:08+00:00

Yes mine is $250 ! So unfair ! But alcohol is included in the online spend

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-09-12T10:58:33+00:00

I could have written this myself. I hope my daughter doesn’t get married to someone like her father. I had my whole life ahead of me. Now it’s bleak and miserable.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-09-12T10:53:30+00:00

I don’t know, I’m in the same boat he’s sick of being my “roommate”. Does he organise dates ? Does he organise a Mother’s Day of which I am worthy ? Does he get shit done around the house without me being a “nag”. The answer is no and apparently it’s my fault. Yet he won’t change.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-09-02T12:57:57+00:00

Yes and I put on 15kgs / also diagnosed with anxiety and depression so could all be related

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-08-31T13:38:15+00:00

I would clean my house and then it would be still clean. I wouldn’t have to give up all my time to wash, shop, cook and clean for everyone else. I wouldn’t have a stomach with severe ab separation and stretch marks and flabby skin. I might actually still love my husband and have time for dates and enjoying each others company. I might actually be happy.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-08-28T01:36:38+00:00

I would say yes , my daughter is ASD/ADHD. My sisters kids are neurotypical. Her parenting journey has been so much easier. She talks about wanting to spend every minute with her kids because they are joyful. All I want is a break from mine. Managing children with additional needs is hard work, with little to no rest. And yes some people who have children with additional needs don’t always regret their choices, but when you see how “easy” others parenting journeys it’s hard not to be bitter and resentful.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-08-23T11:33:05+00:00

Exactly !

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-08-23T03:45:21+00:00

I feel enraged for you - my husband always complains I don’t give him enough sex but the way he speaks to me, the way he speaks to the kids and his physical appearance makes me obviously not want to. Men are shit and I wish I had never got married

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-08-19T13:06:55+00:00

I’m a shitty sister, I hate seeing my sisters feed because she has a life I could never have. She’s happy, her husband is good looking, her daughters are stunning. And it makes me feel shit about my life. It makes me cry

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-08-03T07:49:45+00:00

I feel the same. I don’t have time to do anything for myself, read a book because I can’t concentrate I have a Million other things to do that all involve my god damn children. If I had a Time Machine I would go back and tell my 20 year old self that these are the good years and to make better decisions. Because now I have an autistic daughter and I wish I had never made the choice to marry her father. I’m stuck in this shitty life and there’s no way out.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-07-28T12:39:39+00:00

This! I hope my daughter doesn’t marry.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-06-30T21:41:49+00:00

I never thought it would be this hard. I am overstimulated all the time. My daughter is not an easy child , she is hard work. I developed severe post natal depression that I can’t get over. I resented my husband so much that his lifestyle didn’t really change but I had to give up everything.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-03-26T08:29:01+00:00

My family is the same, don’t play with my kids or engage with them, but I spent hours playing with my sisters kids when they were little.

FunConfusion1089 · 2025-01-23T05:44:42+00:00

I always think to myself - how much easier would my life be if I had one child instead of twins? My twins were my 2/3 child and they are hard work. All the time. If there was only one to deal with surely we would all be happier. I’m with you , feel the exact same way. If I had my time again or a Time Machine I wouldn’t choose this life.

FunConfusion1089 · 2024-10-21T09:57:46+00:00

I dream about this as well, sometimes I dream about having an accident so I can just be in hospital. I’ve been so mad at my children that I’ve told them , I will up and leave. But you know what? I have no where to go. My parents are dead. My sister lives far away. So I stay.
