To feel so shit for achieving nothing with my day?

[Namechangeymcnamechange11]

Have a toddler and baby. Toddler has been at nursery this morning and I had a plan to take them out this afternoon which he would enjoy. The rain cancelled our plans. Since we got back from nursery, we've had the TV on most of the afternoon. I've barely been able to get baby to nap, as they've been waking up almost straight away.
All I've done with toddler is read a few books, play a game which they lost interest in after 10 mins and watch TV while trying to get baby to sleep/almost constant breastfeeding.
Literally all I've achieved with my day is keeping the children alive. I've still not finished unpacking from our holiday a few days ago. Toddler is also tired so wont even be able to salvage the evening as he will be having tea, bath and bed.
I've got loads to do - the organisations I volunteer for are starting to open up again and need my input. Its nothing taxing but it feels like they want the moon on a stick right now.
Tea is beige and from the freezer which doesn't help as I normally cook from scratch.
AIBU to feel so shit?

OP I don't even have kids yet and frequently have days like yours, nothing done, nothing achieved, so just by keeping two little ones alive, happy, fed and safe you've done loads more than me.

Tomorrow is another day, and there's another after that, and then another. Some days you'll achieve stuff and feel like superwoman, some days you won't. It doesn't matter either way x

Yes yabu...I spend my days teaching my dc advanced Mandarin and preparing quinoa and kale smoothies

Said no one ever

Today I mainly watched tv, threw some preprepared chicken and oven chips at my kids and bought them sweets

Some days are like this it's ok

Don't worry about it, there'll be plenty of other days.

As for volunteering, you should probably knock that on the head until you have more time on your hands.

Well at least there's nothing wrong with your priorities. Be kinder to yourself, write the rest of the day off and relax, we all needs days like this from time to time.

I'm also very hard on myself with this sort of stuff. I only have one 3 year old though, no baby, so really don't be so hard on yourself, it's ok to have a down time day.

These is always tomorrow for the afternoon outing, I bet the kids loved snuggles in front of the tv

be kind to yourself op

I voted the wrong way I think.. you’ve accomplished everything necessary today and your little ones will love you for it ❤️

We all have days like that! Don't beat yourself up. One of my favourite sayings is 'Tomorrow is a new day' and when my two were that small I considered keeping everyone alive to be an achievement at the end of every day. If it's any consolation I've probably done less than you and my kids were at school (Scotland). In my defense, I'm 12 weeks pregnant and feel ghastly and sick so have pretty much sat around feeling sorry for myself! When I complained to my husband I'd achieved nothing he pointed out I was growing a human, bless him.

@JudgeRindersMinder I’m not the sensitive type but all fed none dead is just horrible.

At least you've got young children as an excuse! Mine are 11 and 16 and all I've done all day is one load of washing and take in the online shop delivery. Just can't be bothered....

omg are you me? actually I don't have a 16 year old but I have an 11 year old. ,All I have done is hang up my washing and do an online shop. I just can't get motivated at all

You are allowed a crap day here and there! I'd say as well, don't let rain put you off, we're heading to winter and being trapped in will drive you bonkers. Get some full waterproofs for you and toddler, set out with a few changes of clothes if you're going by car and try not to get stressed about them getting wet when out. Also doing 'boring' stuff in the house like making the beds, washing up etc can be something toddler can join in with when they're a bit bigger and class as entertainment.

We all need a lazy day from time to time!
