that you have to do in life/parenting e.g

Leaving the house ready with the toddler before 1pm, if its a nursery day i get DS ready, put yesterdays clothes on then come back and shower- if it's a work day DP is off so I just get me ready and out by 6:30am then he sorts DS but how do people get showered, dry their hair, make up, sort hair out, feed toddler, dress toddler, convince toddler to put shoes on etc all before 9am?

Food shopping- bane of my life. half of it ends up in the freezer never to be defrosted in favour of strolling across the road to to the shops for a ready meal and seems to costs a billion pounds.

Cleaning/tidying- I just cant be fucked half the time. it's not filthy but it's never tidy really

Let alone having a social life. everyone else i know seems to do so many...things.for fun!

Probably, i'm eternally lazy or something

I think we all expect too much of ourselves these days. Look after the family, the house, and then prob a full time job on top of that.

Life is very hectic with a family; everyone fed, no-one dead should be our motto from now on! Grin

I belong here!!

I had to give up all morning baby groups because there's not a chance in hell we're ever ready to leave the house before 11am.

I go through alternate phases of not caring and thinking I'm shit at parenting.

If we really have to be somewhere (vaccinations, visas, paediatrician) we can manage it but I find it tiring and couldn't do it daily.
