All touched out...Vent

Why doesn’t my husband understand that at the end of the day when the babies are in bed I just want to be left alone. Not touched.

I get that he needs some form of affection but I just can’t handle it right now. We have a 3yo and a 1yo and they are all over me all day long. Then my husband wants to be all over me when I’m exhausted and irritable.

We also have two older teenage kids and with all of their attitude I reach my limit quickly. I get no breaks, not even a few minutes. I’m constantly looking after the needs of everyone else and not once does anyone think of what I need.

All I do is clean, cook, dr appts, laundry, look after the little ones. I can’t even pull an actual adult convo out of my husband. Just a little bit of intellectual stimulation would be nice every once in a while.
