Struggling

[mamatoizzywizzy]

Just putting this out there ..not sure I know what I am hoping for back , maybe just someone to say they are feeling the same .

Some days I have really positive days and love spending time with my 16montb old. Other days I am just watching the clock waiting for the day to end. Is this a Covid thing ? Are other people experiencing this during Covid ? I do wonder how I would have felt if lockdown wasn't ever a thing .

I think this is entirely normal, I remember feeling this with my youngest even out of lockdown! I am unsure what to suggest - maybe ensure you are spending enough time doing what you enjoy during naps/bedtime and remember that caring for yourself ensures you can care for your child too :) hope this helps. Here to chat if you need to!

Hi I feel the same too, I also have a 16month old and a 9 year old stepson. I'm very much struggling now, I've lost motivation to do things and like you some days very much drag. I wasnt feeling like this before lockdown but I think this period has taken alot out of people. I think a lot of people feel very much the same so you are not alone.

I’m really struggling as I have split from my ex over 2 years ago and we are going through court procedures. In September we go to a dispute resolution appointment and we are only arguing about how we communicate as he want me to go through third parties eg his new partner. She has impersonated my ex before and caused a lot of trouble as doesn’t pass messages on so am I right to keep fighting this or should I just agree? Be nice to hear honest opinions about this sore subject

I wish I could be of help op but I have 2 dc, a baby and a toddler. When the baby naps my toddler who doesn't take a nap is with me and this has especially been hard due to nursery has been delayed. I feel tired all of the time and sick of myself some days! It is relentless but I know once dc1 goes to nursery and I just have dc2 things will become easier!

@Narmum you might get a better response if you start you own thread and put it under relationships.
