Feeling so burnt out.

No one told me how hard it was going to be as a single mother. Yeah, I get child support but it's a measly two hundred dollars a month. I still pay for a roof over their head 5 nights out of the week, the food they eat, the clothes they send to their father's that I never see again, their shoes, their school supplies, etc. Yet my ex will complain about having to pay child support in front of them like it's a bad thing.I have a soon to be 7 year old and a 2 year old. And I am just so burnt out. My day starts at 4:30 am and it usually doesn't end until 11 pm or 12 am. My two year old stll sleeps like absolute shit and my 6 year old gets jealous when I tend to her little sister. I work at a daycare and I love my job but it doesn't pay the bills. Yeah I get a discount for my kids but that is about the only positive.My shoes have holes in them because I can't afford to get a new pair.My kids desperately need summer clothes but I can't even afford once upon a child with their prices.I make too much to receive government assistance but not enough to survive without it. There have been many days where I go hungry just to make sure my kids eat and are full.My daycare is taking all of the older kids to see the new Hotel Transylvania movie and my 6 year old can't go because I literally cannot afford to give my place of employment 20 more dollars to take her to the movies. She said she hated me and called me a mean momI feel like no matter how hard I try to get my head above the water I'm still struggling to breath. I'm not even treading water. I've got a light bill that's two months behind but I also have to make sure my kids have food in the pantry too.I'm just so burnt out. I just want a break. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2MetyXx
