And then you get told its important to have you time. When???? When am I supposed to have me time??

I love my children and DH pulls his weight too. I also know as the children grow, it will get easier, but seriously, how are we supposed to do it all??

i think most people do most but not all of it Most people I know work (mainly full time) and run the household. I mean not washing clothes etc isn't really an option. I do take short cuts with cooking. It's not all super healthy and from scratch and I don't attend school events such as nativity play. clubs only on the weekend as anything else during the week is too much and I don't sweat too much over home work. I don't have me time. no hobbies, no friends, nothing but I have reframed it as freedom. I don't have to keep up. Both DC have complex needs so it's probably a bit different anyways.

I 💯 hear you!

What a thread to wake up to... Only yesterday was I saying this. Also the prepare healthy meals thing - that's really important to me too.
Went to bed last feeling very heavy headed thinking "and it's not even December yet".

Solidarity from another busy mum of two amazing children!
