Hello, I am writing this post out of sheer desperation in the hopes of some hope, somebody to offer some advice or just to tell me they are currently going through the same thing so I am not alone. My 2nd child who is 13months is so incredibly clingy, to the point my house is a constant state because no matter how much I sit and play with him beforehand, give him toys to play with, books to look at, etc, he will cry if I put him down. He takes forever to go to sleep at night so I end up with about an hour to myself where I manage to fold the huge pile of clothes then I just collapse into bed out of sheer exhaustion, I have no time for myself and I keep stress eating which means I have put on weight, have really bad skin and feel awful about myself. He still isn't sleeping through the night and wakes up for milk then refuses to sleep again which has got me into the habit of just putting him in our bed because he will sleep that way. He wakes so early too. I am working, so very often I go to work on about 4 hours sleep. My husband is great when he is home but he works crazy shifts at the moment to try and help us over Christmas. But still financially we are completely broke. Nursery is taking all we have, including debts we accumulated whilst I was on maternity leave and my husband lost his job. We can't afford to do anything on the weekends and are stuck in when my husband works because I don't drive and we're not close to many things. I barely get to spend any 1-1 time with my oldest who is 7 because he cries, I feel so guilty and I miss time with just her. We are stuck in a tiny home because we aren't high on the list for a council house and the private properties want a guarantor which we don't have. Basically, I am the most miserable I have ever been in my life and I feel so guilty for feeling this way because it's not his fault. I would just love some advice for how to deal with this? (Wow this is a long post I am so sorry, there's just a lot going on right now)
