I have a 4 year old and 2 year old. My parents are useless and my in laws are non existent. I work part time but am the full time parent during my kids' waking hours. My oldest has nursery two days a week. At weekends both of us are at home.
I'm exhausted.
If you didn't have a support network when you needed one how did you cope? Any life hacks/ tricks of the trade I need to know about?

I didn't have a support network apart from DH, you don't mention if you have a partner or not. No hacks it's just head down and get on with it and eventually it gets better.
