Feeling so alone, single mum of three and this is so difficult!

Hey lovelies! I’m really struggling at the moment, I have two boys 11 and 9, and a little girl who will be 1 on Saturday! I’m finding it so intense at the moment: my littlest one is going through sleep regression and I’m so exhausted but filled with guilt that I’m not putting my all into being a mummy because I just feel so lonely, down and absolutely exhausted! Is anyone else having the same difficulties with their 1 year old? She is waking unsettled constantly throughout the night and only used to wake once. She keeps getting bugs and colds and it’s one thing after another and I just feel so deflated. I don’t have the energy or desire to do much and that makes me feel so guilty! x

Aww don't feel guilty about being sleep deprived 😢 she'll be back to her usual self soon. Next year she should be stronger and get ill less. Just fight through this bit. I'm single too with my boy turning one this month and Christmas new year and birthdays are meant to be special but I actually find it a hard time

Yes I think this time of year hasn’t made it any easier! I’ve been feeling really low, it’s an incredibly lonely situation to be in when your a single mumma, I have found this app a saving grace when I feel at the end of the road x

You are doing an amazing job on your own. You have nothing to feel guilty about; it’s really hard!

Solo mum here too and found it very isolating with baby. I couldn’t have one adult outing as he was sick and then family who would help out sometimes were busy over the holidays. We spent more time alone than I imagined we would. Feel like I’ve too many WhatsApp friends and not enough in person friends all of a sudden. My two best friends didn’t invite me to the somewhat annual NYE dinner this year, when I mentioned it they just said it wouldn’t suit me with the baby. So just been on my own at home for NYE/NYD. I did have a wee cry earlier. Sending ❤️

Oh my! Bless you my lovely! God that’s exactly how I feel, it’s like that could have described my own situation! Sending the biggest virtual hug to you! Always here for a chat if you need someone to vent to! It’s so difficult, would hate anyone else to be feeling the same way I do x
