Mum of 2 with help but no happiness

[Mumconfusion]

Nobody understands me or makes an effort to help .. they just advise .. don’t do
One week I wanted to go smoothly.. even that isn’t happening.
Even money isn’t enough for some people … how much ever you do .. it will not be enough

I am just so angry - and I don’t know where to remove it. How can routine be so hard . How do others do it and is it just me that struggles ..

Sorry you’re feeling like this. It’s definitely not just you, I have a 4 year old and 11 month old and I felt like this for a long time. You’re not alone in feeling this way and it certainly won’t be like this forever.

May I ask, how old are your children?

3.5 years and 6 weeks. My struggle is I have help but I’m still struggling with anxiety.. I don’t think one of them is doing a good enough job.. and I don’t know what the next day will be like… the crying of my 6 week old just triggers me

Oh OP 💐 those ages must be so bloody hard together!

I also felt like this for a long time. But DS is now 5 and I am finally finding myself again, I think it helps when they get to an age where you can plop them in front of the TV and have a breather 😅

Also, take the 'advice' with a pinch of salt. Everyone seems to think they can raise your child better than you, and they're full of it! I've even had parenting tips from non-parents 😂 Following your gut and breathe through it. Good luck 🤞

I get it, OP. And you have 2 kids! One of them is a 6 week old, you are still in the trenches. I found out I had (and sometimes, I still do, after 8 months), postpartum rage. Sending hugs

I promise you this will get easier, it really will, be very kind to yourself. Ask for direct help, let people know your struggling, if you feel it heavy and not lifting see your Dr and talk about PND. Try and get out in the fresh air every day even if you start with a coffee in the garden rocking the pram. This is very very common. Take care
