To be so utterly exhausted by my child?

It's got the the point I dread going home after work. It's constant noise, constantly wanting to be entertained, bursts into tears at nothing, always asking what we are going to do next. Doesn't let me sit down, always asking for something.

She makes constant loud random noises all day long. I don't like the weekends at the moment, I look forward to Mondays.

I just feel like crying to be honest, her dads a waste of space & hasn't had her for a while now so I'm getting no break whatsoever.

I'm just absolutely exhausted. She wasn't like this before, but ever since my dad has come to stay (another story) she's had a personality transplant. It's unbearable. I miss the days I actually enjoyed spending time with her, now I dread it. If I'm honest when I get back from work I go to my room & leave her with my dad & brother (also staying for a long period) I hate the noise so much.

It's just making me so miserable & I don't know how to change it. She's 4 & just started school.

My family are a big help & they are leaving end of this month, I'm preying she goes back to being how she was before when they leave. But right now I'm desperate.

I might be wrong but it sounds to me like she’s looking for your attention. I guess with work and her starting school and house guests she needs some time with you?

@PleaseKeepMeAnon you may be right. The other morning we watched a film in bed with a hot chocolate & snuggled, it was lovely.

Literally the SECOND we got downstairs she had a meltdown about her hairstyle, but she was fine with it when we were in my room.
