Completely fed up

I'm not usually one to post here and I'm not looking for advice per se probably to just feel I'm not alone.

I have 2 girls dd1 is 2 and dd2 is 4.5 months, I love them both very much but am feeling completely fed up and drained by being the parent they both want. My husband does alot of work around the house, tidying etc and I am really grateful for that, but I feel that all I do I deal with one crying child after another. I get one settled, the other one starts and it's a never ending cycle. I'm fed up of being touched, poked, climbed on, fed up of being the one to wipe all the bottoms, to put the kids to bed and I know it's only going to get worse.

My husband is in the army and has recieved his next posting, he will be moving away in 8 weeks. I'm going to have no break at all. My only sanity at the moment is a 45 minute run in the evenings. I can feel my anxiety building at having to do everything (I take my hat off to all single mums out there) and losing my identity.

I feel bad for moaning as I know I'm lucky, I dont want any hate, i just needed to get it off my chest.

Can your parents, his parents, a friend help?

I get how you feel. Can your eldest go to nursery? You’re not too far away from getting your free hours for her.

I feel your pain. I had my first two within 18 months of each other as it was very draining especially tandem feeding with a newborn and a toddler who was struggling to share mummy with new sister .

Try make some me time even if it's 5 mins for a cuppa,it does get easier believe me I have even had a 3rd child so can't be that bad ha
Thanks
