Struggling as a mum

[Unic0rndreamz]

I've got 2 kids. 3.5 and 1.5. Im just finding it so tough

It feels like since DD our youngest, DH has checked out because of how stressful everything is.

Eldest has the biggest meltdowns and quite frequent. It's so tough and draining. So he can flit from being 'moody' to hyperactive and running around/away being destructive knocking things over making mess etc. He'a got normal happy times but I mean the 2 traits I've mentioned are what I struggle with. I don't have friends the one person I kind of do I don't see. He can be so shy and get so worked up or can be like i say trashing somewhere nearly breaking things etc.

Youngest only wants me 90% of the time. Does well going to nursery but won't settle for family that isn't me.

So the 2 of them on my own is so tough I constantly feel like a shite mum because managing both is so hard

I just need to vent I feel so lonely in every aspect of my life

You’re in some hard ages! Give yourself some credit if you’re surviving. As far as wanting only you, I imagine because when they don’t settle for family you give in and go to them. The more breaks you can take the more they will get used to other people. It’s so cliche but it gets better

Thanks its so tough and I just feel so alone

I don’t really have any advice but didn’t want to scroll and not comment,

im in the same boat but mine are 7 and 4.

lonely, no one to talk you about the difficulties, and DH just does the fun stuff with them x
