I have a one year old and I just cannot cope. He's still waking multiple times a night. Cosleeping once he wakes sort of helps with this but I don't sleep well when he's in bed with us. If DH goes in to resettle him he just screams for me and wakes up properly.
Then during the day he's into everything, constantly. Except his toys. He has about a three second attention span with those, but will happily sit destroying things for hours
hours. Really he's not a problem though - he's just being 1, and I get that. The problem is me - I cannot summon the energy to get anything done other than a minimal level of feeding, clothing and preventing him killing himself. Our flat is a midden which is really getting me down as I'm actually naturally a tidy person. We just never seem to fix it -just move the stuff around as there's never time to properly finish anything with DS around. He's starting nursery three days a week soon, but I'm going back to uni so.Although I'll get a break from him I'm actually going to have less time to do everything. At the moment I don't even have a chance to wash my hair as he runs away, or bangs his head if j trap him in the bathroom with me. DH does.lots but works shifts and is also permanently exhausted.
I just cannot cope and would love to know how other people do. Let alone with more than one. I feel utterly pathetic.
