Some advice

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?

Try this book. There are some great ideas for connecting with your child.

It's OK not to do loads of flashy activities - that's exactly what nursery is for IMO.

You say you spend lots of time with your youngest, does he self entertain at all? That is a useful skill to encourage.
