An exhausted father-of-four has vented his frustration, saying he can't remember why he ever wanted to become a parent.

The man, who is known on Reddit at Spangemonkee, took to the online forum to reveal a brutally honest insight in to his life in post titled 'I can't remember why I ever wanted to be a parent and it's insane that anyone would ever want to be one'.

'All my time, energy and money go to my kids,' he wrote.

'I'm left with a house that gets destroyed on a daily basis, exhaustion and zero fulfillment.'

The post, which was published on Wednesday, attracted more than 150 replies from parents who expressed their sympathy or offered their advice.

The father, who has a 13-year-old daughter, nine-year-old son and 21-month-old twin girls, went on to detail just what has him 'burned out'.

'Last Friday night was spent mopping up puke,' he wrote.

'Saturday was listening to nothing but whining all day.

He said his life was made up of cleaning up after his kids, listening to them whine and having babysitters cancel last minute (stock image)

'On Sunday, the two hours of spending time with just my wife was canceled because our babysitter couldn't make it and my teenager couldn't be bothered.

'Today has been amazing since my oldest decided to rant about eating meat was bad whilst the toddlers tossed all their food on the floor.'

But while he is as his wits' end, his feelings were not mirrored by his wife who he said took it all 'in her stride' and can't understand how he feels.

'She gets hurt when I try talking with her about it,' he wrote.

'The only thing keeping me from walking away from it all is my deep sense of responsibility.'

His desperate pleas prompted an outpouring of support from other parents.

While some reassured him that he is not alone by sharing their own, similar, stories, others said it would only get easier.

'Thank you for writing my feelings for me,' one Redditer wrote.

'I feel horrible about feeling this way already because my son is only three months old but I feel like I've just lost myself.'

Others suggested ways he could alleviate his feelings of stress, from speaking to a counsellor to getting his own hobbies outside of parenting.

Others said they dedicated nights to doing something for themselves.
