This morning my older two kids are off to the beach with there great grandparent. They own the house me and my husband live. We are trying to save up to buy our own places. My husband grandmother comment on the front lawn needing to be cut, and the small garden boxs cleaned out. Okay, she like right now. It’s 95 outside and I have a small child to take care of and my nephew. I just said okay because I didn’t want to fit. My husband’s grandparents like things there way a lot and that I have to run the house like messes don’t happen and children don’t come first kind of thing.
Here I am dying on the inside. I just got back from a weekend vacation with my family and I feel like I can’t do what they want the way they like it. I’ve never been able to even when we didn’t live a house they owned. My husband just switched jobs where he works 3 12 hours shift on the metal health floor of the hospital. We where away and our lawnmower is broken. We plan on getting something tomorrow. It’s not like I won’t do some yard work I will I just can’t always with the kids and expect them to sit still or not get in the way. I’m trying to break down cleaning to own room a day plus dishes and clothes daily at least once a. It’s a 5 person house hold. I need the money to keep the yard up as well.
Ugh!!!!

I’m trying to let it roll off. I’ve spend most of my day cleaning the house while entertaining a 10 year old and 3 year old

You cannot please everyone and although they make comments try not to take too much notice of them.
Its tough to bring up children and keep a house.
I did all that and worked for my Husband too at the same time.
Have a good afternoon.
