Currently feeling like a rubbish mum. My daughter is 2 years 9 months and is fully in the ‘terrible twos’ stage if you want to call it that. Even when she isn’t, I am finding parenting draining, exhausting and I hate to admit it but, boring. I hate myself for saying that. We watch far too much TV than i am prepared to admit to anyone I know in real life because my daughter hates to play independently at any point - she doesn’t even like me going to the toilet alone. She still wakes frequently in the night and in general is a handful. I work from home and love my job but don’t feel like I get enough space (we have a nanny a couple of mornings a week and my MIL helps some days). I’m not particularly shouty as I’m quite a patient person in general but don’t feel like I have the energy to engage fully with her all day with games etc. She is going to nursery for 3 afternoons a week in January and I’m hoping it puts things in perspective for me a bit and I can start being a better more present Mum. It’s really getting me done the monotony of day to day routines - I’ve only started feeling like this the past few months, is it just parenting toddlers?!
Any advice gratefully received. I don’t want to wake up in 10 years and realise I’ve missed my chance to be the best mum I can be.
