I always wonder if I am doing something wrong and if other parents feel wonderfully relaxed on Saturday evening?
I am a lone parent. It's easier now that dd is 5, but I still find being a parent completely exhausting. I love spending time with dd but sometimes going back to work on Monday morning feels like a relief...
So this morning we got up, I made breakfast and we got showered and dressed. I then did a little bit of tidying up while dd watched tv. We then went out and walked to a local shop to buy some fruit and veg. Came home and put food away. Made lunch for us. We then went out again to the park and some craft activities. Came home late afternoon and I rushed around to make dinner for us. Trying to convince dd to play by herself while I made dinner. We had dinner finally. Read to dd while she had her fruit and yoghurt. Bath time. Put dd to bed and read story. Dd asleep just after 8. I then baked some muffins and cleaned up kitchen. 9.20 pm. Feel completely shattered!!!
Am I doing something wrong???
