I am a single mom to two girls 4 and 6. I have 50/50 custody of my oldest and sole custody of my youngest.

Every time I talk to my mom about having so much to do and no free time (I work full time and go to school part time) she says she did that too. But, she never went to college. Growing up, we constantly had other people living with us. My dad and step dad lived with us at the same time on two separate occasions. She had numerous friends staying with us over the years. There was not a single time that she lived with just me and my sisters. She constantly had help. Not to mention that she was leaving me home alone from the time I was in 3rd grade on and I will not do that. She constantly compares our situations like we went through the same thing and we haven’t. I haven’t had a single day free of obligations in close to three years and I’m exhausted.
