Struggling massively with 18 month old and 3 year old

I'm not going to lie. This week has been one the hardest. Husband back to work and routine has just gone out of the window. I'm sat here crying because I feel like I can't cope anymore. I love my children but feel like I'm doing such a rubbish job. I can't put one to sleep without the other waking and then they just take it in turns. They're both extremely active children so it's non stop all day. I feel so run down. I'm hardly getting any sleep, I look and feel like a zombie. I just can't see a light at the end of the tunnel.

Could the light at the end of the tunnel be nursery?

Everyone has bad days, especially during lockdown. Don't beat yourself up!

OP this if how I felt at the start of lockdown as my husband is a keyworker.
I won't lie. The first 2 weeks were really tough. But all three of you will adapt.
I now prefer it when dh isn't home as me and the toddlers are in a good routine.

Could you send the eldest to nursery soon?

Can you leave one with the tv or iPad whilst you put the other one to bed first?

Thank you for your suggestions. I think I may have to think about putting my 3 year old in nursery and hopefully that might ease things a little bit. Thank you again xx
