Just wondered if anyone else with three small children (or more) is just beyond exhausted?
Mine are 5,2 and 4 months old.
5 year old is a great sleeper. 2 year old has multiple night terrors (upwards of 6-8) EVERY night and 4 month old breastfeeds every 2 hours round the clock. Partner works away for a fortnight at a time then home for a few days inbetween.
Am absolutely exhausted. Health visitor is supporting with early weaning as baby is huge and constantly starving (no probs with feeding or milk supply; he's just constantly hungry!)
Getting all three up, dressed and out the door for the school and nursery runs (25 min walk there, school starts @ 8.45) is no mean feat and organising house and general 'life' is just non stop. I literally don't sit down all day and am only getting about a total of 3 hours broken sleep per night. I've started feeling faint and dizzy lots of the time and actually bumped the car last week I was so tired. No one injured, just a scratched wing. Anyone else struggling with little ones and finding it just ruddy hard work? When not on maternity leave I have a professional and very responsible job which is very high pressure. How come I can do that so easily but having three little ones is breaking me?
I'm not in any way depressed or complaining. I do get lots of offers of support from family so im not alone in this. I just want to know I'm not the only one feeling overwhelmed by tiddlers!
