I’m assuming everybody else dcs are a lot older.. I have three dcs from 2-6 years and my days now that I can’t work and everyone is at home (bar dh as he’s working 6 days a week at the moment) are so tiring and completely unchilled.
My dcs don’t really do mooching and cooking with my two year old is almost impossible.
I actually feel a bit low reading some of the posts here. I never get to chill, all this chilling and sleeping with kids, I don’t get that. My kids are up at 6 am and have bags of energy all day long. I adore them but I’m absolutely exhausted..

Lockdown with two little ones is pretty full on, no playgroup, baby groups, classes or cafes to break up the day. Enjoying the slower pace and an extra pair of hands at home though, got back from walk and DH had done a few jobs like the dishwasher when he came down to make a cuppa which meant I didn’t have to do it.

Emmagainno3 I absolutely agree with you. I have 2 you g kids and I’m trying to work and I have had no mooching, pottering, watching anything I like on tv before 9pm, sleeping in, pootling or pottering.

I get up, I start work. I get dressed and stuff some breakfast down, listen to the kids fighting/moaning or asking me to do so and so with them and telling them I need to work. Try and calm my husband down whose losing his patience. Eat lunch. Carry on working and refereeing, try unsuccessfully to get 5mins peace when I log off. Eat tea to a cacophony of I don’t like this, what’s for pudding, I’ve got tummy ache etc etc put the kids to bed for about 17hrs, get in bath with idea of unwinding only to be interrupted every ten minutes by a question, a wee, a stinking “whopper” (my kids) finally at about 9pm I might turn the telly on and realise there’s bugger all to watch.

Am I really in the minority finding this all a massively stressful juggling act of anxiety and being pulled in all directions and not getting five bloody minutes to try and find my thoughts?

Bloody mooching....?!

Woke up at 7 with zero motivation to do fuck all.
22 weeks pregnant and my morning sickness has just reappeared, convinced it's from lying round like a slob.
Went for a walk, threw up.
Ate some granola.
Did a jigsaw that I've now realised has pieces missing.
FaceTimed a friend who has had to cancel wedding (a lot of tears, hers not mine)

Tomorrow will be better I'm sure.
