I'm 39 and my DD is 2 and I feel that I'm becoming more and more tired and overwhelmed. She's an energetic little girl and thankfully is getting past the manic, aggressive stage and is more thoughtful but I feel as though I'm doing too much again. I work three days a week one developing my own business and two days in a job where I've to stand for 7 hours a day, when I pick her up from daycare she wants to career around the local park and to be perfectly honest it's the last thing I want to do. I try to lift her as little as possible as I'm not very strong and feel her weight across my back and shoulders. I like to get up at 5.30am to have an hour to myself before the ambush of daughter and husband descends at 6.30am and feel that I need to get to bed at around 9pm to be able to achieve this, DD is not sleeping until 8pm, I feel insane around ths time as I know that I'll only have an hour to myself!!!
Do others fell this that it gets more and more difficult to pack everything in as they get older, I need to downsize and build up my physical strength but what give??? I hate faceing the fact that I'm less capable because of my age but I know it will be a factor
