new here pls be kind just need to vent 😩

[fourkidsnorth]

hi everyone i’ve just signed up and feel a bit silly posting already but i don’t really have anyone to talk to and i’m having one of those days where everything feels loud and messy and overwhelming 😞

single mum. today’s just been chaos from the minute i opened my eyes, toddler up in the night again, kids arguing, house a mess, i feel like im constantly chasing my tail and never actually catching up.

i love my kids more than anything but some days it just feels like survival mode and i’m so tired of feeling like i’m failing at everything. i see other mums who seem so put together and i just feel like i’m always behind 😔

not even sure what i’m asking really just needed to get it out somewhere that isn’t my notes app lol. sorry if this is a pointless post and sorry if i’m rambling.

pls be kind 💙

How old are your kids?

nobodys well put together, if the house is clean they are usually neglecting something else, if the kids are happy they will be neglecting something, if they get me time they will be neglecting something etc etc just some people are better putting a front on than others.

Hi OP, we wanted to let you know we've moved the thread over to the Parenting board where we think you'll get the best response.

@Moen i’ve got a few kids different ages so it’s just constant noise and chaos tbh 😩 toddler still up in the night and the older ones just argue over everything at the minute.

@NadineMumsnet yeah that makes sense about the move tbf, didn’t even think where i was posting i just clicked the first board i saw lol.

@WeepingAngelInTheTardis yeah i get what you’re saying, i know no one’s actually got it all together i think it just feels like that when you’re stuck in your own house all day watching the mess pile up and feeling like you’re behind on everything 🙃

Kids are such hard work. There's women out there (myself included) who only have the 1 toddler AND a DH and still find things hard.

Hang in there.

MN parenting motto used to be everyone fed and no one dead. Some days are just shit, especially with a toddler in tow.

Love this
