Struggling

I find it hard some days. We've all been ill recently and bubs has been teething. It's not easy all the time and somedays I can't wait to go to bed even though I love spending time with my child. Its normal people just gloss over that 'down days' x

I finding it hard last few days as little got cold and keep waking up early hours and won't go back down till bout 2 or lastset is 5. And I'm exhausted. I just need decent night sleep. I'm find extra hard next week as I have older daughter and she goes back to school. Me and my partner don't get much alone either. As our daughter is still in with us as she can't share with the older daughter.

No, I feel exactly the same xx

I could have written this!!! Just know there are plenty of us who feel this way and it's normal and okay. I don't have any advice just solidarity ❤️🫂

The people who seem to have it all together just don't open up about how hard motherhood is! Or have an amazing support network. You're definitely not on your own, most days I'm so overwhelmed and touched out. I try to remind myself to be as present as possible because they're only this little once and there's so much beauty in their innocence at this age x

Those people do not have it all together i can put all my savings on the fact that they struggle just as much! Its hard, i feel like i really gave up on myself in 2024, motherhood & work was my entire life and i vowed on NYE that 2025 i will do things for my own happiness again, date nights child free, bottomless brunches, child free shopping so my brain can switch off. This is an awkward age too, the whinging is crazy. I have really good parents who have him why i work but i feel bad asking them for extra but this year, i am doing. Sod it haha. Some days you feel like youve been in a whirlwind!

@Sophie same she's been ill one thing after another 4 weeks straight now which definitely doesn't help! thank you 🥰

@Lisa the lack of sleep definitely makes things seem harder doesn't it😪i can't even imagine having 2 at the moment! bless you x

@Michaela thank you so much🥹✨definitely makes me feel less shit!

@Shule very true! the age they're at is so tough at the minute but has so many gorgeous moments, it's just nice to know we're all in the same boat haha x

@Sarah i couldn't relate more to that! especially the shopping one 🤣 im definitely missing the child free moments to just work out who i am again!here's to 2025 🙌🏼🥂

Yeah lack of sleep does make it harder. My oldest is 12 she was 12 yesterday. But she also had special needs. As she autistic and has epilepsy also she behind in development as she was born at 28 weeks. Sometimes it can be extra hard. My oldest dad don't even see her so she always we me in less odd day she says with my mum.
