To want a "life" coach?

Honestly feel like I've lost my way in "life" and just want someone to help me sort it out, all of it!
I'm a sahm to 2 preschoolers- had kids straight after my degree, and I think I need to do some training to get back to work, as I've no work experience in my degree field - but not sure what kind of training would be the best.
I'm absolutely rubbish at housework, partly laziness but mostly inefficient, DH can tidy a room quite quickly, but whenever I do it it never looks finished. I am improving but it's not something I'm natural with!
And I have so many parenting issues, DC1 is so strong willed I'm really struggling to interact with them as it ends up being a battle of the wills each and every day.
I'm spending more and more time online to escape all the issues, but I'd rather tackle them and start enjoying life and motherhood again!
I realise I'm probably unreasonable because most people manage all these and more by themselves , but I'd love for someone to come and tell me what to do about it all, step by step... Not too much to ask, surely?

blue thanks, will try that today! Kids are already awake so will get offline in a minute!

kerala1 sounds like she helped a lot! Will look more into it, and see if we can afford it, especially for the work related stuff.

About to switch off for the day, hopefully today is the start of a new routine!

Thanks for all the help and reassurance I can do this!

If you want to stay off the internet during the day, ditch your smartphone - you can manage with a basic one and then internet in the evening will feel like more than a treat. Use a Kindle (or actual book!) so you've got something to read if at a kids' activity or something.

The book 'What Colour is your Parachute?' is good for people feeling dithery about direction.
