I have a three year old and a 5 month old. I feel like I am really struggling. I can't really complain; my DH is very involved and the baby sleeps quite well, but I just feel exhausted all the time.
I feel like we can only manage the most basic house work. We always have a back log of washing and every day seems like a mountain to climb.
I'm supposed to be going out with friends tonight and, much as I know I would enjoy it, I just can't be bothered. By the time the DCs are in bed, I just want to flop for an hour or two before going to bed to get a sleep. The day usually starts about 5.30am and I just feel ground down with the relentlessness of it.
Is this normal and will it get better?
