Feeling list after baby has gone to bed!

It is so weird. I love my little girl so much (14m) but I do find it exhausting! We do have a lot of fun though and I honestly try my best with her every day. During her naps I love it, I have a cup of tea and do some housework, paperwork etc. But at night when she's gone down for bed, I weirdly feel at a loss. A bit uncomfortable.

I have hobbies, I have lots of ways to occupy my time in theory, but I almost feel wrong doing them. Like reluctant as I feel I'm doing something wrong. I know shes asleep, I know there's no problems, but I'll still feel weirdly selfish and reluctant to do anything. I've gone to bed early sometimes just to avoid the feeling, or just carried on doing more housework as I don't feel guilty when I'm doing it.

Please someone say they've been in the same boat, and what did you do to... essentially... get over it? Thank you!

😂 I was the same. Husband works nights and I would offend just lie upstairs and watch tv on my phone next to her just because... prob a bit much but each to their own!
