I'm on my own my DH is home every second week for 2days. So that's four days a month.
It's tough but I'm coping, my mother has dementia my sisters work full time and my inlaws aren't great.
So it's me and 2 children.

The minute I go to my inlaws my sil gets her back up saying that her husband works nights so that's like someone working away. He works 3nights a week. My DH is gone 12days and nights.
But that's an example when everyone hears I'm on my own with two kids they immediately get there back up I always get "well my husband works nights, or He works 6days or we barely see each other because we're both working so much, or off older people I had 4-6 children and no one helped me".

I get this constantly and constant "oh my life's worse because" and then they go off into a rant about how there situation is worse. And it usually starts with what does your husband do.

I'm just so over people competing over my situation I don't wNt this I don't enjoy this, my mil takes my sil kids constantly. I have no help. And she constantly does the oh my life is worse.

I'm finding it really hard and I'm avoiding certain people and situations because it's so draining. I work so hard and it kills me inside when people belittle my situation because this isn't easy. It's not a competition.
 
That's one thing i learned when I became a mum.. EVERYONE COMPARES. Everything.. My son was walking then, well my son looks like this.. my daughter can count to 50 at 8 weeks. -.- Okay.. exaggerating a little.

It's the most annoying thing about Mums haha. Just ignore it, let it wash over you. If they're comparing.. it's because they're feeling insecure about their situation x
