How do you cope?

[LittlemissMama67]

I'm a mum to 3.

a 7 year old boy who I love dearly but he just didn't listen to me, he will ignore what o say 4/5 times before I end up shouting and then he asks why I'm mad?

I have a 2 year old daughter who has non verbal autism, she runs around doing her own thing, wrecking the place and getting into everything she shouldn't.

and then I have a month old daughter who to be fair does sleep a lot but I still feel like my word load has doubled.

I had a c-section a month ago and although I feel ok now when I over do it I know about it.. I just feel so overwhelmed there's endless washing, a 3 bedroom house to keep on top of while still trying to be the best mum I can my partner helps when he gets in at 5 but for 8 hours a day I'm on my own and I just feel as though I'm not coping

Ignore the typos, wrote it one handed while feeding the baby.

I just wanted to add that up untill about 2/3 months ago I was using gentle parenting methods and I'm still trying to but finding it a lot more difficult to stay calm recently. I feel like I've lost control of the situation

Are your older kids at school/nursery?

My son is in school, so day to day it's me and the 2 girls home all day, also just found out I'm not entitled to statutory maternity leave 2 months after actually going on maternity and not being paid at all yet.. it's just gets worse and worse
