Expectations

I wish sometimes my family understood that I have three small children I live in a tiny apartment I don’t have any additional help and I have a lot of things to do I work full-time my husband works full-time and sometimes I just can’t you know call or talk to my family that often. Do you know my family, all my sisters have grown-up children.They had maids when they had small children and so did my mom my mom and so they don’t really know what it’s like to raise three children on your own, you know as a couple in a small apartment and i am still the one who has to you know make the hospital trips when my mom needs to go to the hospital or handle all of those kind of a administrative family stuff you know because you are the most capable one or whatever and everybody just thinks that you know I like I am the one who should be doing all this and now that everything has settled down I want some time for myself so I don’t call my mom as often as I should and she’s like you know I haven’t called in a while you know and it’s just so stressful. I mean right now I have my l two-year-old like you know screaming for my attention while I’m trying to unload the dishwasher and I’m just tired And my sister calls me to tell me that my mom says I haven’t called in a while. Ugh.
