I have a 2 year old and an 18 month old (14 month gap) They are both so loved and much wanted, but fucking hell I'm struggling. I'm realll really not enjoying life at the minute. My days in work are the best days of the week at the minute. Then I feel guilty because I don't want to feel like that. Youngest just whinges allllll day. Eldest fights for attention and non stop says "carry me". I can't sit down without both climbing on me. I can't eat without them taking food from my plate. I can't hear myself think through the whingey child clinging to my legs. I can't even walk from one room to another without literally dragging a child. I had to stop, mid poo, this morning because they were both screaming so much to come in. Even without lockdown we have no support. Family are all hours away. DH is feeling similar. I've had enough. I have to stop myself from pushing them off me. I shout at them. We have good times too but outweighed by the bad.
Relationship with DH is going down the drain as I'm feeling so fed up.
Please tell me it gets better.
