I'm a SAHM, with 3 DC who are all at school age. One of them has SN (autism currently being diagnosed, school treating them as such in regards to extra support for them there)
I have utter exhaustion, not sure what it is yet, still having scans / tests etc. I'm on supplements to help.
I'm really struggling. I'll admit that I am slightly lazy too, however I am having trouble with my constant tiredness.
I don't know how to manage DC's meltdowns properly and now one of my other DC is copying the behaviour.
The place is fairly tidy, just have a pile of 'stuff' in each room. I can't seem to manage a day where everything is done - dinner prepped and ready, house neat and clean, children played with/ bathed etc, myself showered and looking semi presentable. Something (normally more) always falls short on that list.
Its making me unhappy, and I feel guilty about the amount my DH will do when he comes home from work. It feels to me that we should be a team, and that I'm letting him down.
We not rich by any means, however we're not horribly skint either. I was wondering about outsourcing or hiring in help, but what? Is it even really OK to do that, when I'm at home? Is there alternative way that will help?
