That's all really. I'm a sahm to a 7mo ds and finding it really tough. I am struggling to find motivation to go out but if I dont go out I think ds gets cabin fever as he gets bored very easily. Does anyone else feel this way? All the other mums I meet never admit they are finding things had which makes me feel like I'm the only one. I regularly cry as I feel I am a crap mum and can't cope. I want to clean my house, make my baby homemade food and make me and my husband dinner but rarely can do any of it as my ds wants to be near me at all times, which is lovely, but I don't know how to balance everything.
I also try to see in laws once a week or so but now just feel I don't have the energy and I feel awkward inviting them to my house as it's a bloody mess. I just feel like a crap mother and wife and don't know what to do.
Baby only wants to nap in my arms. He really needs his sleep or he gets upset. Have put him in cot for naps but will wake after 20 min and won't go back down and then he's unhappy as he's not had enough sleep. He needs min 1 hr per nap 3 times a day.
Anyone got any suggestions? Hubby works long hours then has to come home and cook and I just feel crap about it. I don't know how everyone else manages x
