Anyone else feel like this? Just really don’t want to a parent today. Been up since crack of dawn with teething toddler, 6 yr old with ADHD who just won’t sit down, ever. It’s only just gone 9am & I’m grumpy, knackered & fed up. Just the thought of how long the day has been, already and is going to be makes me feel depressed.
Days like these I don’t want to be in parent mode, I want to be me, that other, shinier version of myself that would like to live in a (moderately) clean house, finish a cup of tea, watch something on tele that I want to watch, not feel relentlessly harassed by a zillion questions about gravity/different species of bears/why the titanic sunk/what are we doing today/I’ve lost my x y z. Not constantly crawling around picking up contents of cupboards which the toddler rips through and tips onto the floor.
So tired. Parenting feels tough because of the relentlessness, these days where you want to do anything but & yet somehow you’ve got to pull something out the bag, from those dry reserves of energy.
Not in the mood
