Is it normal to want to quit?
Is it normal to be sick of your kids? My marriage was arranged by my parents. I was a naive teenager and had 2 children without really understanding what level of responsibility comes with having children. I'm now 30 and have been working and raising children for as long as I can remember. My husband is an idiot but apparently its "best for the children" to be raised in a "stable" environment. I work and am fully responsible for the kids. I have to rearrange my work around school runs, matches and any other event in their lives. I just want to know if I will stop feeling like I want to quit. Every simple little task is so much hard work. If I ask them to get up for school they will always take so long that its a rush to get to school on time. Homework is a headache and meal times. Then the kids are constantly arguing over who has played longer on the playstation or who's football team is the best. Worst of all they are so greedy, they want anything and everything. I keep trying to tell them that I can't afford to buy them everything they want and that somethings they can have and some are just too expensive but then they look at me like I'm the worst mum in the world. I hate my kids, if I could go back in time and sterilise myself as a teen I would. If I was a quitter I would quit life but quitting is selfish as who would put up with my crazy kids? I know this much God definitely has a sense of humour as my life is a joke.
