Just ranting.

Only a sahm for 2 years plus, i feel lonely and jealous sometimes when husband spends a lot of his time out with his friends while I'm 'stuck' at home with the kids 24/7. I feel guilty for feeling 'stuck at home w the children' and wanting some time for myself. ☹️ Why do mothers have to sacrifice our freedom(also our bodies and literally everything) while the fathers get to do whatever they want guilt free.... Really hard to find a dedicated father/husband who's willing to spend more time w family/wife rather than choosing to always go out w friends. Totally understand that he needs time to unwind after work but its like he gets to go out every week sometimes twice a week while myself only once or twice every other month. Just getting to shower alone feels like such a luxury......... I feel like I'm always complaining but all my complaints always fall on deaf ears. He says ok but still insists going out just a 'short' while but comes home late n is too tired the next day to spend time w the children or me even. Pls tell me im not alone feeling this way. Sighhhh.

Being a sahm for 2 gg 3yrs I know exactly what you mean. Men don't know if we don't voice out. It takes two to make a baby and two to raise one too. Communicate and work out a plan so you can have your me time too and some sanity back. Don't be afraid to ask for help. If he doesn't help, tell him you're gg to ask your family or friends so you can get some sanity back in your life. You might be surprised that he doesn't know how you feel - men are just like that in general.
