I have to say I am Unemployed and have been almost 2 years in May.Thing's were fair to begin with even with all the bird's I was trying to raise then my daughter got pregnant at almost 17.She and baby has been living with us since.She works nights sleeps most of day so me and Hubby(he works full time days) are with baby all the time.I can't even remember how I done it all last summer.But this year the baby is walking and it's Constant.Needless to add about the deadbeat dad baaaaaa.He is back in the picture again and has took the baby a few day's like last week and I have to over do everytime I get a free moment.My daughter thinks because she works and I stay home I should do it all....I worked and raised my 2 girl's and there was NO 10-12 hours of sleep I had to raise my kid's and work and keep a house.Im wondering where is my supposed "twilight" years lol.I love my grandson he is like my own, but boy it's get's so tiring and I have dishe's in my sink too and laundry in hamper waiting to be put away.I did get some weed eating today lol at almost a half century old I guess I'm still kicking lol.Glad I don't have a picky hubby.Long as he clean undie's and a kibble of food and his recliner lol.He has learned to kick the baby toys out of the way on the way thru lol.

Breathe!
And be glad that you still can.
Our mother's told us our houses should be clean all the time.
When we get to the end a clean house will not save us.

I am one of those older women. First ask yourself if in 5 yrs. a chore will matter to you. Will you wish you had done more clothes or spent time with your family or friends. What is really important is your health and family. So what if the dishes don't get done today, I laughed, I enjoyed weeding the flowers, and I did a little work. Try to find something you enjoy in each chore you do. Feeding the animals, laugh at them play with them a second , it makes the work easier. You'll be surprised how you attitude toward a task can make a difference in it. Look around you and find the beauty in each day. The day will not last forever. People usually will respond well if you smile at them in a store. It will also raise your own mood too. You sound very overwhelmed by all you do. Change it around some. Demand just a few moments for yourself.

Welcome to reality this is life. Wait until you get older-it can get far worse. Make time to exercise it is important. It helps to clear all of the work "crap" out of your mind. Eat properly-it is important. Three balanced meals low on carbs works for me. Look at all of this as temporary. Have a plan and work toward it. One day at a time really works. This too shall pass! Hope today is better.

I was super-woman for 15 years. Worked fulltime as a Family Violence Advocate, raised 3 kids, went through a divorce, got my BA, remarried, bought 2 houses, moved from NY to VA. Did the Scout mom thing, PTA, Sunday school teacher, volunteered for several groups.... My house was always immaculate, even if I stayed up til the wee hours of the morning to get it done.

Then one day last July, I couldnt get out of bed. Literally. I spent 2 or 3 months in bed, just hiding from the world. I didnt leave the house for days at a time. Lost my job. The house and barn and yard went to heck. It was a nightmare.

Words of wisdom....slow down. Dont sweat the dirty dishes and the laundry. If ya run out of dishes, get paper plates.

Live your life and enjoy it!!

((hugs))

I can well see your point----

Having a steady job gets in the way of having fun everytime you turn around.

For years and years, probably the first 20 years of my career I worked 60 to 72 hours a week, every week. 12 hours rotating shifts 3 nights get off at 0700-- 24 hours off then return at 0700 for 3 day shifts or 3 day shifts get off at 1900 return the next night. I had chickens, I had dogs, I even had kids, but I also had one nice paycheck.

Please try and see it from her point...she cannot help the fact that many Americans can't find jobs. She's just getting stressed out. Everyone gets to that point at some time in their lives.
