To be tired and sick of the same shit

[YesOrNoThatsTheQuestion]

Sorry I shouldn't be ranting on here but I've no idea where else to post it? I think I've started to feel like I am burning out big time. I am a part time working mum of 1 who is 2 years old and a husband who works all the time.

Every day is the same boring rubbish. Wake up, do housework, clean, play, cook food... and when I've been at work on my feet all day, I have to pick my toddler up, go home, cook dinner, clean up, bath him, get him into bed which he then plays up and doesn't want to and I just get so utterly exhausted. I do everything with him joined to me at the hip. I've got no family or friends nearby who can just help for a few hours!

I have lost my motivation to do anything now. I had everything planned in my head on what I want to achieve this year and so far, sod all has been accomplished. I am just living life day in/day out with nothing to show for it. I love my toddler don't get me wrong, he is the best thing that's ever happened to me but is there ANYTHING else exciting to do other than the same old boring shit every fucking day...

We are struggling for money as well despite massive cutbacks and changes and we've got to pay for childcare so going holiday is also not an option :( if I wasn't working part time I think I'd lose the will to live.

I’m a mother of three op and work part time whilst dh works full time, the older two are fine because of their ages 10 and 5 but the youngest is 2.5 and by god is he’s none stop.I need eyes in my back of my head,
I’m just waiting to the day he grows up abit more and is that little bit more independent. It does get better eventually I just think between the ages of 2-3.5 can be quite a challenging age.

I felt like this around this time last year. I was working 2 days a week. When the opportunity arose, I increased my days to 4. it has helped enormously.

Argh, I feel your pain!! Life will start to get a bit easier as your dc gets older and then you'll start to think about having another one

You are definitely not alone, I definitely found life a bit of a grind and sometimes still do. Try and ditch the stuff that doesn't matter - batch cook or eat a lot of eggs on toast so you don't have to cook every night. Don't worry about too much tv time or bath every night. Don't wear clothes that need ironing, that sort of thing.

What is your dh doing to help with the menial, grind you down stuff?

Are you getting any time to do something fun in the evenings or weekends at all? Whatever that might look like for you?

Could you hire a babysitter some Saturday and head out for the day and do something nice for yourself
You need a break for sure.

Unfortunately, it is like this!
I often had days where I was thinking ‘is this it?’
It does get better!
You need to do things that make you calm and more positive. So little things like reminding yourself of all the good things you have, getting some time to yourself to do something relaxing.
How about radio or audio books (free from your library) while you get on with boring stuff?
Find simple meals that you can shove in one pot so there’s less effort and less washing.
Get out as much as you can. Explore your area and find all the free stuff to do and places to go.
Meet friends with kids for walks in the park or feed the ducks.
These were all the things that made it more bearable for me.
