Hi pinkbubbles, You have had some good advice but, it starts to feel like nothing is working and always changing methods drives you crazy.
Not want to play with kids is nothing abnormal.
it's what you are doing when your not playing that is the problem if your cleanig or working that's understandable, you would agree "yes".
but if your just on the settee and he/she is on the floor, that's not, i no you agree.
Be constructive with your time after all it's your's not your kids.
children have to fit in to your world not the other way around.
I no it's crazy but make a plan for your day and night,
start with a get up time ( same every day) even if there is nothing doing that day get up, end with a sleep time even if you can't sleep go to bed.
do hour slots, then it won't feel like a long day.reward your self with a five minute slot in your own space that room i was on about every hour.
and don't be bullied by your child, my two we're at nursery full time at 8 months, with no sleep in the day but they when to bed at 6.30pm and stayed there.
oh and talk to your MUM, she really does no how you feel, i faked it loads of times with my mum thinking i was super woman, but she saw right through it, long before me.
she was waiting for me to say some thing, not daring to say anything, me being the touchy cow i am. thinking of ya chick
i'm off now cause i'm crying in the library, your so like me.
