Am I the only one?
I have 3 sons. A mildly autistic 13yo SS, a 3yo, and a 4mo. I’m a SAHM so it’s my job to care for my kids, teach my kids, and help them with whatever they need
My husband works from 5a-6p give or take an hour or 2 in the evening outside whether it’s 100 degrees or below 0 (we live in Maine)
I wake up at 430 every morning to make my husband lunch for the day and roll his cigarettes. (Sooo much cheaper than buying at least a pack a day) I see him off to work then nurse my son and pump (it’s the only time I can get more than 2oz)
I go back to sleep until 8 when I need to get my 13yo off to school, then get the other 2 breakfast, get my bearded dragons lights all on and feed him, then FINALLY have my coffee. When everyone’s done eating I do my dishes, clean the rest of the kitchen, living room, and bathroom (with a house full of boys/men it doesn’t take long to get messy) I feed the kids lunch then WE ALL nap. When we wake up I get my 3yo snacks, shower if I haven’t squeezed it in yet, then clean the kitchen AGAIN and start dinner. I get my husbands clothes ready for him to shower when he gets home then I get the food on the table, get everyone fed, then bathed, put the kids to bed then cuddle with the hubs and watch tv. My 4mo nurses a lot so i get to watch my show and relax while he nurses and play with my 3yo in between all that because how can you resist a sweet little boy saying “you want to play with me mom? 😃”
I get shit on so bad if I even mention waking up at 430 in the morning to make his lunch let alone if someone is here and sees my daily routine. These are all things I WANT to do, its nothing I have ever been asked to do but my husband makes sure that I know how loved and appreciated am on a daily basis and I wouldn’t trade my life for the world. I can’t stand living in a mess so I clean. I like to eat good meals so I cook. I like my man to be happy and taken care so I make sure he is. I like being a SAHM so I am because my husband 100% financially supports all 5 of us by himself. It just blows my mind when people shit on me or tell me I’m crazy because I take care of my family as best as I can. What’s the difference between that or working a 12-14 hour job everyday? Besides the fact that I CAN have lazy days when I want to. I don’t do shit on weekends so 🤷♀️
