My daughter is recently one year old and I am so stressed about literally everything. Please could people say what stresses them out the most about parenting so I know that I am not alone. I feel like I'm on watch 24/7 and its horrid

You are NOT alone! Though I’m sorry you haven’t yet had any replies to your post. I’m not sure this board gets the most traffic - post this in ‘Parenting’ and I’m sure you’d get tonnes of replies.

Anyway, to answer your question, for me, it’s sleep - never knowing how long DC will nap for, what I can get done in that time, how best to organise the nap (buggy? Sling? Bed?), and then at bedtime feeling like once they’re FINALLY asleep that’s my time BUT I should go straight to sleep because they’ll be up in 2 hours! It makes me feel crazy. There’s lots of other things but I think this is the biggest. DC are nearly 4yo and 5 weeks.
