When I was single the weekends seemed quite long. I would sleep half of the Saturday, watch some TV shows, clean a bit and sometimes visit some friends. And Sunday evening I would play bass in my metal band. Nice and easy.

But now that I have a family and small children there is never time to do anything. The kids always need something, food, diper, entertainment, make them sleep, clean up. Wash the dishes, wash the clothes etc. Once we’re done with them it’s 9pm, we try to watch a movie and my partner falls asleep of exhaustion within 20 minutes. I try do watch it to the end so I can tell her the summary in the morning.

It’s totally regarding to have kids but I wish the weekend was one day longer.

    I worked 6/7 days of the week for over 10 hours X day at times for almost 4 years. With something like 21 days of holidays X year. I dunno what to tell you except you’re lucky.

    And I still live with my mother btw.

      There’s enslaved people working 12 hours a day 7 days a week all over the world under the threat of death. I dunno what to tell you except you’re lucky.

      Do you feel better now? No? Then you must see why that’s a shitty thing to say. No need to one-up someone’s struggle
