To want to stop feeling so stressed?

[Spookey80]

Sorry, didn't know where to post.
I have turned into one of those stress head people and I don't know how to get out of it.
I m now starting to dread weekends as ther just aren't enough hours in the day.
I have 2 dcs aged 2 and 4 and I'm pg with no 3 and I'm just exhausted constantly by e mountain of tasks. I then frustrated and snappy with everyone and now feel like I'm doing a crap job, wife, mother, at work, everything.
We have a house we are doing up as finances allow. It is very habitable, but just needs modernising, so dh spends much of his time doing the house, I basically, go to work, cook, clean and try not to be a crap mum to my lovely dcs.
But I just feel a knot in my stomach constantly and am full of frustration.
Our weekend goes like this- sort house stuff, cook, some sort of walk, bikes, park, or swim for kids, and I just never seem on top of anything.
What can I do? I love my family, but I'm drowning in anxiety and to so lists that never get ticked off?

Are you having trouble sleeping? Are you able to enjoy things?

good grief, of course you are. lots on plate.

stop setting yourself such high standards.

if you are all fed, reasonably clean and toilet clean then relax. you will never get to the end of housework.

can you go part time? out source ironing or pay a cleaner?

sorry if that sounds an easy solution and you can't do any if those things but thought say.

can you get dh to take a weekend off the DIY and all do something nice?

this time will pass.

Yabu to get stressed and feeling that only you are responsible for doing everything! You need to make time for yourself and get your Dh to help and start making serious priorities as to what are the most important jobs and what can slide. Having kids and being preggars is bloody hard work without you dumping all this guilt on yourself. Chill a bit, see if the leisure centre has a crèche during the day so you could maybe go for a swim or see if there's a weekly course somewhere. Kids pick up on stress! Don't do this to yourself! Also I've found that if I have a messy house we have no visitors hoorah lol!

Thankyou. Sleeping fine, I go to bed most nights at 9.30 as I'm so knackered.
I do work pt, 20 hrs pw, just feels too much at the mo.
I can't stop feeling like this.
How do others manage?
Thanks for all advice.

I just feel like I'm not even managing the everyday jobs..cooking, keeping on top of dishes etc,,let alone managing to do more!
So frustrated.

firstly it's not all down to YOU - why are you putting it all on your shoulders?

your partner should help - and you should share jobs and kids stuff
