An exhausted mother has shared how sick she is of worrying about money all the time and wishes she had a rich husband who could take care of most of the expenses.
Writing on Mumsnet, the woman said that she wished she could have more fun and that life would be easier with a rich partner.
“I shouldn’t admit this… but I wish I had a rich husband!” she wrote.
“I’m exhausted worrying about money 24/7,” the mother continued.
“Exhausted feeling I have no time. Wondering if it will ever get better, and how! Exhausted of pretending to everyone there aren’t serious money worries.
“I would just love to be like my friends and family who don’t have any money worries, have multiple holidays to look forward to, can give their kids amazing education and activities and are planning house renovations because their husbands have become very successful. What a dream! Even just one year of living like this would be bliss.”
The mother went on: “I know it’s up to me to be my own rich husband but it’s hard when you also have other responsibilities.
“I just want to dream a bit of a life where we are having conversations about which country to visit, not how we have to cut back even more.”
People on Mumsnet understood where the mother was coming from, with one person writing: “Me too – and my other half wishes he had a rich wife too.”
Another commented: “I’m sure lots of women feel like this! Don’t feel bad!”
But others had different thoughts, with one person saying: “I don’t wish for a rich husband but I wish to be rich in my own right. Men are not our saviors.”
Another added: “I’m a single parent on minimum wage and I never wish I had a rich husband. I would NEVER want to rely on a man for money in any situation. I don’t want a husband anyway so that probably helps!”
