Sahm to toddler Dd, almost 3, previously worked all my life will return next year. Is anyone else in a similar situation and is just never, ever, alone? Dd is particularly shouty and difficult and the moment as she exerts her independence further. She barely naps but is clearly tired, then can take two or three hours until she gets to sleep at night. Dp works from 8-6, and we alternate bedtimes..it just feels like I’m never alone to catch my thoughts, feel guilty for feeling like this but Dd rarely plays alone and is very talkative, which is great, but she never stops! She will go to nursery part time in September and I’m holding on for dear life.
Weekends aren’t ever a break either as we often have lots to do, which is lovely, but no down time, if we stay at home, it’s often harder as she needs constant occupying.
Anyone else feel like this, is it normal??
