Posting here as other than DF, I don’t have anyone else to speak to and also hoping someone can relate.
Is anyone else finding life so hard with 2 under 3? I have a 12m old and 2.5y old who I love more than life itself but I’m just finding life so difficult.
My 12m old doesn’t sleep great and my 2.5y is a gorgeous energetic bright child but wow can be challenging sometimes!! I feel like my nervous system is constantly on high alert!
They are both full of colds and coughs at the moment bless them but I’m sat here so anxious about another sleepless night. I feel like I’m on a hamster wheel and I’m doing things all day but don’t really achieve anything.
I feel like a bit of a failure. I want to be better and feed them more organic food, go out more on my days off in the week etc but I am just finding things quite hard at the moment. I don’t ever do anything for myself as by the time they go to bed I’m absolutely shattered.
I have just gone back to work 3 days a week which has just seemed to make my mental load feel more heavy. My partner is amazing and hands on when he’s home but works a lot of hours. Please can someone tell me this gets easier!
