I’m so tired

I’m so menatally drained. My youngest Dd is going through the worst terrible twos out of the three dcs. I’m atruggling. The older two are11&9.

Dp works long hours doing shift work, this weekend it’s been 6am-8pm both days.
Dd has pushed it and pushed it all day, smacking, spitting, running off etc. We tried to go out and she just ruins it. This is constantly.

Dp is absolutely amazing when he’s here but Dd has some sort of attachment issues with him so the min he leaves she screams for him. If he’s working lates she refuses to sleep, if he’s here she won’t let him put her bed.

I’m shattered. I just want some adult time with Dp. I want a few hours out the house in the day to be us. I want to sit under a tree and read a book.

I can’t remember the last time (way before pregnancy!) that we had any time together except the odd evening once a few months for date night when we pay a babysitter.

We have dps mum living literally round the corner and she says she’s there for us but never is.

I have BPD too, so days like today I’m really struggling.

I love my Dc but my god I’m at my limits atm.

Sounds like you need some time just for you. Could your DP have the kids for a couple of hours so you can go off and do whatever you want?
