@Harriet we don't have much help unfortunately so I am not allowed to have a break... I work part time when they are at nursery and the rest of the time I am with them... We cannot afford any more childcare...
Can your partner take them out one morning at the weekend for breakfast and give you a few hours to yourself? I used to work in a cafe where a little girl would come in every Sunday morning with alternate parents so the other got a lay in plus win win she got one to one time with each parent
Looking after small children is very hard and I’m absolutely with you on the fact that it is not very rewarding when they are this age. I’m living for the fact that it will get easier as they grow up but it’s just very hard now. I do happen to be very patient and I am fortunate enough to have help so I do get a break sometimes and I still feel like a terrible mother so don’t think that that is unusual. I agree with Harriet’s suggestion but I just wanted to comment to say that you aren’t alone in how you feel ❤️
It sounds like you just need a break to be honest! Children are the most amazing little things but they're also the ones that can get on our nerves the most! Do you have any support or childcare you can rely on? Someone to take them for a few hours or even overnight so you can get some sleep and feel a bit more like yourself again
