Miserable mummy!

[IsItWine0ClockSoon]

I really don’t want to come across as a miserable mum...esp as it’s Mother’s Day 😬 but I am miserable and really not enjoying being a mum. My children are beautiful, happy, loving and I genuinely adore and love them more than anything but I am just so fed up that I don’t feel like I am being a very good mum to them.
We take them swimming and they love it...I don’t. We go for a walk, its slow, they run off, we chase them...it’s great for them....I become grumpy! Everything seems like such hard work and I become a horribly stressed and unpleasant person followed by feelings of guilt then the tears start.
What is wrong with me??? Surely this isn’t normal but if it is what on earth does anyone else do to combat it? I do get some time out so I can’t even blame lack of me-time!!
Aargh 😨 Help x x

Poor you, How many children do you have and how old are they?

They’re 2 and 4. X

My ds is 4 and I find him waaay easier than I did when he was 2. I think 2 is a tough age and entertaining both your kids at the same time must be tough. It'll get better and easier in time I'm sure.
Sorry not much help! X

Sorry, IsItWine. Do you go to many groups or have play dates with friends' children? Perhaps if not this would give you some adult company while still spending fun time with your 2. It can be stressful organising activities and going out and can feel a bit lonely even with your child(ren). Good that you do though! Also, do they go to nursery?

I've used Mush to meet some new mum friends. It's hit and miss but have found a couple that way.

Sounds perfectly rational and natural to me - there is no reason why you should want to spend all your time with small children. Have you going aboutbhiring a babysitter so you can have some ‘me’ time? Go to a spa for the day or go shopping?
