Days of feeling rubbish...

Hi all,

Just a rant really to see if anyone else feels like this..
Do you ever have days where you just feel generally rubbish and questioning if you're doing right by your baby? (1yo DS)
He's such a lovely baby and such a pleasure but I always feel like I'm not doing enough for him, I always see people on insta and they're so preened always have their hair done properly and both them and baby dressed fabulously when I'm usually covered in whatever has been had for lunch/tea and slaver and snot as DS currently has cold (not talking about celebs just people in general btw), they're on lovely holidays or breaks away and you're just moved back in with your parents baby and partner to try and save for a house only just training into the field of work you're wanting to do as a career, not the biggest fan of doing "kids things" like playgroups etc but know it's so important for DS so go along to them and grind them out for the couple of hours, don't jump out of bed in the morning before LO to get washed and dressed for the day (usually just wake when they do) usually with them snuggled up with me in the bed as too tired to put them back in own bed after bottle during night.....

I know I'm so lucky but just feel constantly I wish I could be the parent my DS deserves... Sad

This is meeee. Except I'm worse. I have a 2yr and 1yr old and some days feel I do the bare minimum. I am just soo tired all the time, and there's always so much cleaning and washing and STUFF to do that I just don't.

Some days we don't go out at all and don't get dressed either, just stay in pjs from previous night.

I'm sure we're not the only ones, but it does feel like it is sometimes. Especially when I turn up to a playgroup looking like shit, sweaty and rushing and everyone else has nice calm babies and looks all lovely.
