Bear with me... I just need reassurance.... people with toddlers are finding this hell right? It’s not just me being a crappy mum?
No parks, playgroups, soft play. I LITERALLY am out of my mind with boredom and feel so guilty that I’m not enjoying my kid more! Is this normal?

Sorry to hear that @hammeringinmyhead my son isn’t talking yet either and I think that’s what makes it so much more challenging :(
Today has been particularly hard what with the bad weather. How is everyone else today ? 💐

Mine has only just gone to sleep. Just feeling mentally exhausted

Solidarity! 20 month old here and pregnant due early September. I Think it’s a time of real change for them and when some play with peers would be really useful. Mine’s also started being a nightmare to put to bed - takes over an hour every night since the last month! Agh !

3 year old and 18 month old here. I started lockdown with a timetable, bless me
Grin That lasted about three days. We’ve gradually worked our way into a routine of busy and vaguely educational mornings but the afternoons drag so much. They get way too much TV and if it’s a day when they are getting at each other then I shout way too much which is most unlike me. Exhaustion I think. It’s really hard.

I’m out of ideas and enthusiasm and just want the play park to be open and to be able to go a friends for a cuppa. And have some space, oh my goodness to have a day at home alone would just be glorious. Kudos people.

Thank you Flowers We’re all in this together! DS was up early this morning so I’m hoping a nap may he on the cards!
