Fed up

Sorry if this a self indulgent post but I'm just so fed up and need to vent somewhere. I have a 13 week old and I just feel like crap. I actually lost weight when I was pregnant but I'm bigger now than I was when I gave birth because I can't stop grazing on crap with being stuck at home all day (often don't get a chance to go and make proper lunch for example with looking after baby and trying to keep on top of the house). I've also got DC1 and DH at home and they're honestly driving me insane - I'm sick of having to do everything for everyone else, decide what they eat, cook it, clean up after everyone. Every single day feels like Groundhog Day, I get up, do the same thing and then go to bed and start all over again.
DH does alternate nights getting up with baby but with everything else it always feels like he's doing me a favour if he does anything. He'll get up and make his own breakfast and never thinks to even offer a cup of tea. The minute I get up in the morning the baby becomes my responsibility and I do everything for the rest of the day. I love the baby to bits and I wouldn't mind if it was normal times and just me at home and DH at work but it's not - I'm doing everything for the baby AND having to do try and deal with the additional stuff that comes from Dh and dc being at home. Nothing I do ever feels like enough. I feel like running away at the moment!

Haven't got any advice sorry but that does feel tough. I'm not surprised you feel like running away Thanks

How old is your other little one?

Have you chatted to DH about how you feel?

You could try not doing everything- for DH - let his clothes go unwashed. Or just say one morning - how about I have an hour to myself and you look after the kids.

Sometimes you got to be selfish for your own sanity I find!!
