Having kids is just exhausting sometimes. Same as a family. And having a job, by the way. The medicine? A game of confession. 19 parents share their deepest thoughts from last week.
No vacation
“A holiday with children is not a holiday. It’s super tiring and I’d rather be in the office.”
Lonely
“I feel very alone. Are there more mothers who have this? Surely not so bad.”
Not the same partner
“If I had the money, I would have left years ago. I do everything and he turns into someone I don’t like.”
Parting
“I’m stuck between thinking our divorce is good for me and wondering how good it is for my kids.”
Home care
“Looking after my father is extremely overwhelming and lonely at the same time.”
Young mother
“I know I became a mother way too young, and if I could go back I would do things differently.”
Think over
“I’m really done thinking about everything for everyone in this household. My brain is tired.”
Stepmother
“It’s hard being a stepmom to kids whose mom talks bad about me and my husband all the time.”
Wifey
My husband does a lot more housework than I do. He’s a better husband than I am.”
absent father
“Absent husband and father suddenly want time alone with the kids. I feel left out and so just go along.”
Baby hugs
“I really like cuddling with my baby, but I wish she was a bit older because I need a little more routine in my life.”
Affair
“I don’t think I’ll ever get over my husband’s affair.”
Nap
“I need a nap and a day off from everything.”
Anniversary
“I think my marriage is over after 20 years and two kids.
Who cuts the meat on Sunday
“I hate being the breadwinner. I miss kid stuff when I’m at work. hashtag momguilt”
Creative mind
“I get paid to do creative things all day, but I never do anything creative with my kids – it just doesn’t cross my mind.”
Chronically sad
“My child has a chronic illness and I almost drown. Sad, angry, alone.”
Mother battery
“I really have to go to work to charge my ‘mother battery’.”
Miscarriage
“Two weeks ago I had a miscarriage and I feel totally abandoned.”
