I’m really struggling 😭😭 my daughter is 14 months and I literally feel like I spend 12 hours a day doing the same things over and over !!! It’s so relentless!! And I don’t get a break at all . She doesn’t see her father , I’ve had to cut down on work now as not enough space in Creche . So all day I’m watching crap TV , boring walks , fighting to get her in a car seat , to sleep , stop her climbing the sofa , hitting the dog , climbing the windows , you name it !!! I’m going crazy !! Im so unbelievably bored too ! It’s such hard work taking her to friends houses as all my friends have much older kids so their houses are death traps , can’t take her for lunch as she climbs out of the high chair , I don’t have any family or anyone to help me either (I did when I was pregnant but both my parents past away during this and her father left me ). On top of it I have other kids too so it’s impossible to go anywhere that doesn’t take 3 hours to get out the house ! I’ve tried toddler groups and I hate small talk also as it’s summer holidays I can’t take all the others ! I would love to go back to studying or to do something with my life but it seems impossible as I can’t see how I would have any time to actually study 😭 more of a rant sorry 😭just feeling fed up ! Anyone else feel lost during the baby/toddler stage ? It wasn’t so bad with my others but I wasn’t a single parent and had loads of support then !

My Ds is 17 but was a LP at that age . Groups helped me .

look up local gingerbread, look up local events . Lots of free stuff at this time of year .

it’s a hard age but gets easier
