Just seeking some advice off any mums that could find some time to try and understand my situation and respond.
Anything is appreciated.
So I have two kids. One is nearly 4 and the other 10 months.
I find my self often raising my voice a lot. Even in situations that aren't even needed for it. It's as if I get automatically stressed before needed/ over react.
I speak to my eldest as if she was ten instead of 4. I keep forgetting she is only little and I need to talk in a softer way she will understand. Not as if she is an adult.
I don't do much with my eldest because I'm always attending to my youngest. So she's often entertaining herself which I feel guilty over not having 1 to 1 with her like I use too be able to do.
I feel stuck in the same routine each day. Same stuff. No change. I don't drive atm so days out are limited. Eldest hates public transport to the point she will scream until she's off.
I often feel they deserve better than me. And I feel bad at the end of the day when they both go to bed how I've had a go or been a miserable mum.
I'm thankful for nursery because that's the only place she probably actually does fun activities eg painting sand etc
I want to buy her some new things too so any ideas would be great
Is there anyway I can change my mindset?
What do your daily routines consist of?
What activities do you do with your children?
