I'm a lone parent to 3dc aged between 4-7. I hate it. I don't always hate it, not all day, but at some point of everyday I do. Everything is stressful and overwhelming. I find it all too much, even the smallest things like making them breakfast. And it starts as soon as they wake up, the dread that this is my life and I have to deal with this relentless shit for years to come. I don't think I am made for motherhood 😞 Does anyone else feel like this? What has helped, if anything?

No direct experience of lone parenting- raising children as a couple is hard enough. My only advice is accept it’s monotonous- it’s not you- that’s parenting. Also do they go to bed well, that evening time to yourself is vital for your mental well-being.
