Someone needs to appreciate you more and show some love. How about leaving for a week or even a month so some people begin to value what they have.

I think sometimes when us women try and "do everything" for our husbands and children, we are taken for granted. Maybe its time for you to make time to do something outside your home that pleases you. Maybe take an art class or learn a new skill in a college course. Maybe find a local nonprofit and do some volunteering. While you are away, your family will have to fend for themselves, and appreciate your time with them when you are home with them. The other thing is that when you give from your heart, its best to do the giving without any expectations of a return gesture. Only in giving are we rewarded. Sometimes doing everything for your family is actually hindering their growth. Its time for your family to realize that you are as important as anyone else in the family.

Your family needs to realize that you are a person and not just their maid and mom. If you have to, go on strike. Stop cooking meals for them, stop doing their laundry, stop doing all the little things they expect you to do and never show any gratitude for it. I guarantee that if you do it, after a few days they'll realize how important you are and then you will have control of things and you're life will get better!

sounds to me like your hubby and kids have no respect for you and that maybe you need to go on strike and let them notice what it is like to miss you being there to do the things that you do for them then maybe they will see and appreciate you more.

Don't Be no ones doormat ...if they ignore u so much then stop doing things for them they will definitely start noticing you ....don't let no one take advantage of you ..Some times people take advantage of the nice ones...I hope you will get noticed and appreciated from your family soon ..go out with some of your friends who will give you a fun time...

You need to try "self care". Go for walks. Read books. Go to the spa. Mothers give. One day they will appreciate you. In the meantime, try to have fun away from them.

You need to stand up for yourself! When he says where is dinner say Whatever you are cooking! After a while of doing that they will realize they need you bad.

I'm with you. You should go on vacation, let someone pamper you for a change. You deserve it. Once you're on vacation, your family would then see how much you really mean to them. It works, I did it with my family.
