I take care of all the pets, all the grocery shopping, most of the food prep, most of the housework & laundry… kids & hubby don’t appreciate any of it, for the most part. I feel worthless. I ask for help & they do it once – I shouldn’t have to ask every time. I feel guilty for wanting to stop doing it all for a week. The pets would die. The house would be utter chaos. Yet it’s the only way I see to get their attention & of course it will all be anger that I’ve quit doing it rather than seeing how much I do for them.

I hate my life.
