Spread so thinly

Anyone else feeling like this?

Feeling like the worst parent atm. I'm snappy and my sense of humour has completely disappeared.

I feel completely exhausted from homeschooling and constant demands.

Aibu to ask for tips or is everyone feeling like this. Are you snapping at your kids too? Is your tolerance depleted?

I hear you.

Everyday I start promising myself I'll be better, by the end I'm shoving biscuits in my mouth to medicate the frustration and exhaustion.

I'm a shit mother, employee and friend at the moment. I just hope the 8th releases the valve.

Today I do ... to be fair my business is pretty much dead (due to Covid) so I don't have a huge amount of work for that, I have 4 children though, two have additional needs, two just don't sleep, so I'm exhausted, my husband is on a fire and rehire threat with British gas (they are firing all the engineers so they can hire them back on a significantly increased working week, unlimited weekends, nights, etc and decrease their pay), he's stressed, I'm stressed, my children won't sleep, did I mention that? I'm sat in the hallway constantly redirecting them back to bed, none of them are asleep 💤... there are a million things to do and I just don't feel I'm accomplishing anything.

Today just felt overwhelming, I think it's back to school tomorrow and I just don't feel emotionally ready for that 😆 I'm dramatic though, I'm probably hormonal lol.

Oh yes, and food! 😆 I actually lost weight first lockdown and now I keep realising I have a significant relationship with chocolate but I'm just not able to break that right now. 😆
