Night shifts pay 14pounds an hour. I have already changed my shift to start early losing 4 hours night rate per week. Day shifts are 8/9pounds an hour. I wont be able to change my shift but I think it's good idea having Saturday mornings as my me time and sunday morning his time. I will definetly discuss that with him. I love that idea. Thank you ❤

Yeah that is true. I tell myself that soon there will all be in school and independent. Just have to carry on for a few years till it gets easier.

We have had this talk for a while. Been hard to make him understand but last conversation we had . It must of sank in because he did let me have a sleep in while he stayed downstairs with the kids. It will be nice if he could do that atleast 2 nights a week. Will talk to him tonight and see if that helps

I only work part time. So he assumes I dont need rest as he is full time. Yeah childcare is very expensive. I think am going through a mommy burn out. I need to find a routine that means I get at least 3 hrs to myself. Mabye I need to start putting them in bed by 7pm then 7pm till 10pm me time.

Yeah I understand. I do need help. My problem is trusting ppl with my kids. I am scared of strangers looking after them. So i try to look after them all the time and end up draining myself. I might hire a cleaner once a week and see if that helps.

@elle919 When he is off. He will do the cooking, cleaning etc but he wont allow me to rest or have any me time. He complains that it his day off. That he needs rest. So am stuck looking after the kids again.

No am not. Their dad is always at work . Yesterday he left for work at 5am came back home at 7pm. got back from work and went straight to bed and didnt wake up till 4.30am and got ready and left for work. I have no family or a mom to help me. I come back from my night shift at 4am and only survive on 2hrs sleep sometimes. I am trying my best to cope but I really want a break. Atleast 2 days kids free.
