I know it's done to death but I'm exhausted.
I'm a lone parent, please don't ask about my children's fathers - not around and that's the end of it. Don't want to be berated for my poor choice in men. I was diagnosed with PND the other week so that will be making it worse but;
My 5yo is too much to the point I'm exhausted, my 6mo has his little challenges but is far easier than my eldest (for now). She doesn't SHUT UP and is constantly talking - excessively. No words for the amount of energy she has, she doesn't have an off button, when I send her to bed she doesn't sleep and will often refuse to go - good sleeper as a baby but since 9mo old she's been terrible. Friends and family have noted how bouncy she is and how much she talks, I'll ask friends to meet and if I have the kids they'll say I don't have energy for little lady today (just baby, no problem). She just exhausts me, it's like sensory overload by the time we're in from the school run that's it I'm ready for bed!
When I do get a break I get judged and berated by most people I know and I'm just burning the candle and both ends - no idea what I'll be like post maternity leave!
Sorry if I'm rambling but I'm half asleep all the time, she's just so intense and I don't know what to do. I honestly never thought I'd say I wish I never had children
