Hi all, my daughter is 7, almost 8 and I’m pregnant with another little girl. Yay! Life has been pretty manic since we got pregnant and in between full time work, selling two houses and purchase of one (and we’re in a chain of 7) and the pregnancy I feel really guilty about being a bad mum for my 7 year old. I love her so much but my mood swings, stress and exhaustion in this pregnancy have been overwhelming. After the school run, club drops off, the mental load and admin (school trips, teacher presents, club slips, birthday party planning) I feel like I have nothing to give her. I tell her I love her every day, read with her before bed but I feel like outside of that I’m just letting her go on her tablet pretty much all day and have zero energy to change that at the moment. My partner helps but it’s more our mum daughter relationship that I’m scared of losing. We say we love each other all the time but it’s when she’s asking me stuff and I can barely hold a conversation with her. It’s like I’ve got the energy for all the basics but once we’re home she’ll go on her tablet and I’ll go into the bath on my phone to destress and that’s it :( I just feel like a crap mum. I want to be a fun jokey mum but she’s asking me stuff and I just don’t have it in me to be silly etc. I don’t even know what I’m looking for by posting- maybe that this is normal?
