Feel like a shit mum…

I praise these mums that manage to take their babies/kids out almost everyday to do something because I just can’t seem to do it, I normally lack the motivation as I’m exhausted and there’s always something to do round the house (washing, cleaning, cooking etc.) and by the time we get out the house it’s a faff I normally have to have like 3 hours to get out with my 3 year old and 3 month old! 🥴 I take my 3 year old to the park or for a walk sometimes or to run errands like a food shop but that’s about it! I rarely get out. I don’t go to any classes with the both of them and only really try to do things on a weekend when my partner is about so I have an extra pair of hands! I use to take my 3 year old to classes but found he got very overstimulated (he is on the autism pathway) so those kind of things give my anxiety but I do feel guilty for not taking my youngest to any!

I only take my baby to baby sensory group once a week of that makes you feel a bit better, all the things I said there are the reasons why except I don’t have another kid in the mix!

You're not a shit mum at all- the fact that you're worrying about these things at all shows you're a good mum. I think there's so much pressure put onto mums to go to baby sensory classes etc that it actually ends up causing a lot of anxiety. To me it's more important that your babies feel loved and cared for. I only have one and I struggle so I'm not surprised you're struggling with 2! X

Baby don't care about baby sensory class at this age. Those are meant for the mother who wants to get out and be in different environments or meet other people. I would rather stay at home all day if I only have the baby. The only reason I try to get out is because my 3 year old needs to be physically active, but to be honest it's freaking hard to juggle both outside. On the days my oldest goes to the nursery, I just stay at home with the baby.
