Does this get any easier?

I am in the early stages of the terrible twos. So I’m going through the classic tantrums, irrational requests and broken sleep. I’m fully aware this is normal.
I work 4 days a week Mon - Thurs 9-5 and on Fri-Sun I split my days into sections.

for example I need to get through 5am - 9am, then the count down to nap time begins (11:30ish for 1hr30) then it’s lunch time and an afternoon activity then I count down to bedtime which is usually 7-7:30ish

never in my life would I think I look forward to Mondays.

i love my daughter with all my heart and I’m so blessed to have her in my life, but does this get easier? My sex drive is low and my partner is noticing it. If I blow dry my hair I think I’ve put in effort. I just feel like I’m running on fumes!!

not sure what to expect from posting this, but any advice/tips welcome 😂

Hello, OP. We've moved your thread over to our Parenting section to see if anyone has any advice (or solidarity!) for you there.
Hang in there - it does get easier in our experience!

Op it honestly honestly does, there’s always a level of running on fumes and being exhausted, but it’s less because of having to be so ‘on’ all the time. Does your partner have the same thing? Are they getting broken sleep, are they exhausted? You might be due the odd ‘break’!
