Mummy vent- what about me ?

Being a mum is great, I love my daughter and wouldn't change her for the world. However being a mum can also be exhausting. As a mother you want the best for your child and they always come first. But sometimes I think what about me ?

Being a young mum can be even harder as you haven't experienced as many things in life. As well as being a mum I juggle housework, uni and talking reality presentations on top of other things like the food shopping. It's never ending there is always something to be done.
I have very little support as my family don't live close and my daughters dad has not been consistent with seeing her. Why is it so easy for men to just walk away and leave everything to the mother?  Not make contact or even provide financial support ?

As a mum I have a very small amount of friends and an even smaller amount that I see regularly. Recently I was invited to go out to the races. I thought that would be nice, some time for me to socialise. Not too mention my love of horses and how I've always wanted to go. Then I realised, first I need an outfit, then I need the money to actually go, can I afford it...? Hmmm the answer is no. Maybe next time ?

I got home today, showered my daughter and gave her a snack. As I went to have a shower myself  my daughter started to yell muuummmmm, muuuuummmm. Half an hour later I got to shower, a short shower at that.

Most nights while eating dinner I get up and down to assist my daughter several times. A warm meal would be nice . Haha and I always have a helper in the toilet.

Although every time I go out to the shops, I see all the clothes I'd like to buy, walk past the hairdressers where I'd like to get my hair done, and wonder what it would be like to socialise regularly I love my daughter and she comes first... Every time !
