Hi,
Love to hear your suggestions on my situation.
I am currently a SAHM with a 3 year old DD. I feel I am barely able to cope at the moment and I do not know what to do. MY DD s in nursery 2 mornings a week, about to be increased to 2 days, maybe more next Jan. At the moment, I feel I can never achieve anything as DD is so demanding. I cannot do housework without being interrupted and feel if I play with her, I am not getting housework done. We cannot be at home for long before it becomes too much so we get out, but the house is a mess.
The tantrums are getting pretty bad and I cannot cope with them. I dont now whether to cave to everything, just for the peace, but I know this is bad. Everything is a chore, getting dressed, screams to get onto a bus, wont go in pram but prefer scooter which is exhausting for me as DD is very fast and a runner/escapee. My DH is also working a 2 hour each eay commute away so he is up at 5 and back around 7.30, with a job that ends in Jan and no job at the moment to go to. I am very stressed and taking it out on my DD as I cannot cope with everything.
On top of that, I have to listen to a mum at nursery who also has a nanny everyday, even on weekends get flustered with the nanny was sick for one day - give me a break!
How do you make life easier/cope etc? thanks
