We are a young family of 3 soon going to be 4. Me and DH work full-time and DC1 is 2 years old and in nursery 4 days a week term time only. We don't have any family around to help with childcare. I am also doing a masters from work hence have DC at home once a week and get some studies done in the evening or weekends. I am currently pregnant baby 2 expected in September.
I am finding it all too tiring both physically and mentally. DS is awake from 5 in the morning and does a nap for 2 hours and goes to bed at 8PM. I take annual leaves to look after him during school holidays. I will be taking maternity leaves from September and after that DC2 will be starting nursery.
My challenge is that we are finding our days are very busy constantly juggling work, childcare and life admin chores. DH works all the days and is self employed so doesn't get any annual leave. He does bed time for DS but he struggles to wake up in the morning so I am the one who does all morning wake ups. We have been having lots of arguments because I feel constantly tired and I feel I need more support but it's what it is at this point.
I am worried about how hard things will get with 2 kids when we are already struggling with looking after 1.
DH helps with doing laundry and dishwashing and we have a robovac for cleaning.
I am looking for tips on how we can make our lives easier.
