First time poster just hit a real wall this week. I have a 4 and 3 year old. Safe to say I have not enjoyed the toddler/preschool stage of parenting. Does it & when does it get ‘easier’.
I feel like I’m falling at the moment.
I suffered from mild depression over 10 years ago which has never really gone away I have low ebbs which come from an accumulation of stresses.
My eldest who is in reception in the main loves school but has had problems with one boy being nasty to him. Had chats with teacher about it I have also learnt this boy has caused problems for other children so it’s not just my child but still I think I naively felt I wouldn’t be dealing with this sort of shit at aged 4. He also goes on a school bus & his behaviour there has been causing problems hyperactivity in the main and not listening so I’m also dealing with that.
My husband is great but my low ebbs come out as me having a go at him and being moody and it’s now affecting him which makes me feel terrible.
Do children get to an age where it gets easier? My 3 year old follows me around wanting continual attention which I get is normal but I’m finding it all so tough at the moment.
We have limited support so me & my husband haven’t had a night away or alone together for nearly 5 years this has also affected us in my opinion.
Please someone tell me it gets better!!
