Not enjoying parenting 2nd time

Literally that. I was such a good parent to my first child and really enjoyed it, now this time I feel bloody useless. I'm finding it hard to know what to do with them in the day, I'm not a sahm but work in the evening when they are in bed so they are with me every waking hour. I'm sounding harsh already but I'm just really struggling, I'm not enjoying my LO's at all and feeling stupidly guilty about every single thing. My husband and I are like passing ships in the night with work etc so hardly see him at the moment. I just generally feel like shit, the whole sleep thing is shot if it's not one it's the other or both ,🤦🏻‍♀️ generally I'm just not loving life ... I don't even know what the point of this post is. Please just someone tell me I'm not crazy or alone 😥

I can't make you feel better but I just wanted to say you are definitely not alone. I knew 2 children would be a challenge but it's draining me in every way possible and I hate the miserable, angry person I've become.

I suppose we just need to look ahead and it won't always be this difficult?
