Work full time (like mostly everyone else), after work I go home change and off to practice with kid 1 while kid 2 at other activity practice. I finally get home around 9pm then dinner showers and bed. Both play competitive level so practice is 3-5 times a week plus weekends games/ events. I’m exhausted but it seems like no matter how much I do and support it’s never enough.
Spend all weekend (10-15) hrs at competition 1.5 hrs away from the house and kid asked to drive another 20 minutes in opposite direction to get a toy. Pick up 2nd kid at practice and they are mad if I don’t drive another 15 minutes away for a smoothie. All my free time goes to kids and I feel like it’s never enough. They want more and more. Mom helps a lot and is always there but says yes to everything. When I’ve had enough and finally say no to one of them I’m the ahole and the grouchy parent.
I’m always the angry one and my kids tell my wife all the time that I’m angry. I’m tired and feel I give a lot but it’s never enough and I’m always the bad guy.dont know what my real question is here, I guess I’m just venting.
I don’t expect a pat on the back for being a dad but damn it feels I’m never good enough to make everyone happy and I’m grouchy because I’m so tired.
Any advice is appreciated
