just venting

Lately I have been feeling kinda down. I'm 29 years old and currently in school, working full time, and doing volunteer work on the side. I have 2 beautiful children: a 2 n half year old and a 11 month old. Who I love so much. I have routines just about every semester just depending my school schedule. For example, this summer semester i drop them off with my mother n law at 7am, my husband picks them up at 2 or 3p and I don't get home until after 5 or 6p so basically I, myself don't see them all day; this is a Monday-Friday not including Saturday's that I work half a day til 1p. Mind you when I'm with my children I dedicate 💯 to them only.

Now, I have been getting people telling stuff, like "your a bad mom because your not with your children." "That your not a mother." "How can you leave them out for too long!" And soooo on. I get it I know I'm not a stay at home mom because I want my children to have a home over their heads. These people don't understand the situation we are in. We live in a 1 bedroom and it's hard. Shoot my husband and I do our very best to succeed but there are damn obstacles that are a little challenging to overcome. I'm so close to transferring to a university I know I can finish it but sometimes these negative remarks are what get me thinking. "Maybe they are right" or. "I should stay at home" idk..

I'm just so tired.

Sorry I needed to vent 😕😞
