Any one else have nothing left to give to their own little ones after a day at school?

@Jprc I’m sorry you’re finding it tough too. I also get really easily overstimulated so I can relate. I should maybe feel a little more guilt towards my husband but I just think at least he can understand when I explain it’s not personal it’s just me being drained. My son got really upset when I was loosing my temper at bed time and I feel so bad about it.
It’s like the second shift! I felt so bad yesterday. I picked up my toddler from nursery, stuck the tv on and got my laptop out to do work! It’s just not fair on her but I feel like my tank is empty after teaching kids all day. I don’t even feel rested after the weekends! It’s no surprise that so many mums in their 30s are leaving the profession x
I've been seriously contemplating leaving teaching. I'm currently pregnant with my second and am hoping to do lots of research when I'm off again of what else I can do. I know lots of my female colleagues with young kids are feeling the exact same, it's so sad 😢
@Jprc I’m pregnant with my second too. It’s exhausting! I think about leaving but can’t think of anything I could do with the same money and holiday days.
@Corinne the guilt is horrible isn’t it, but sometimes there’s no other option. It really is not wonder!
Aww congratulations! How many weeks are you?? Yeah I'm the same... I'm on UPS1 and would probably struggle to find a similar wage with the same holidays. My son goes to school in two years so have to think about that too
I am feeling this atm!
Absolutely! I left the house at 7, got back just before 5. Had to deal with defiant teenagers all day (secondary school) and am just so shattered. I get easily overstimulated at home when there's too much noise etc and I have such little patience with my son and husband. It's horrible!!
