Struggling to keep on top of things
How do you all keep on top of chores and errands?
I feel awful when having to tidy up when my little one is awake (16 months old). I feel so guilty cos I feel like I need to give her my 100% undivided attention all the time because it may sever our bond or hinder her development. When I say guilty I mean overwhelming feeling of guilt so it stops me tidying so much and I live in a house of 3 people so there is always tidying to do everyday whether it be hoovering, cleaning the kitchen, doing a washing load, tidying away toys.
I find it so difficult to keep on top of things it’s impacting my relationship with my family because they see me as lazy and it frustrates me that I can’t tidy up.
How long can I leave my child to play independently each day?
Just to add she is a terrible sleeper and wakes 5 times or more a night so I try and rest when she’s napping unless I get a burst of energy (which is rare)
