Have two young children, 6 months and 2.5 year old. Life just seems to be- wake up, food, clean up, play/get out, food, clean up, kids nap, I clean/tidy/admin, play/get out, food, clean up, bathtime, bedtime. Everyday. I breastfeed so have to add that in how ever many times a day, get in the car, out the car, pram up, pram back in the car, go to shops, go to cafe. Husband and I spend our evening watching tv then bed. I’m up 1/2 times a night with the baby. Don’t get me wrong I take the kids to baby classes, try to see friends, try to do stuff at weekends but it’s mainly park, coffee shop, soft play. It’s all just very…..dull. Repetitive. There is no excitement or anything that perks me up. Ground hog day for what 4 years until school starts?!
Am I an absolute Scrooge, am I depressed? Or is this parenting young children?
