Tired of parenting

Tired of parenting. It's so hard sometimes. We have 4 year old twins and they want our attention constantly.

My husband and I are knackered - I stayed home to care for them before we got the 30 hours childcare offer.

They are 100% ready for school. I feel like I want to talk to my husband. And sometimes I feel like I don't exist anymore.

Does it get easier?

I feel over the past years our support has been scraps. Especially with lockdowns.

Yes I found it got much much easier once they are at school. Appreciate not everyone has the same journey, but I'd say there is light ahead.

We didn't have much help either in the preschool years, but the combination of school hours plus the kids' school friends' parents' support, plus the children just being a bit older and slightly more sensible, definitely helps.

I have twins (and another child 2 years older)
The year before school was the hardest (except newborn obvs) They drove me mad.
It does get easier. It’s lovey when they start school so not long now!

I've got twins and I found it really hard until they went to school. It then became much easier.
