Fed up

I'm genuinely fed of everyday looking the exact same. The same conversations with my partner, the same conversations with my 8 month old, the same chores, the same mess, the same everything. I don't know how to get out of this flump. It's killing me and I'm getting more and more days where I don't want to mum. Don't get me wrong I love my little girl but it's the emotional, physical and mental strain it has on me and my body. I'm really struggling and can't seem to be able to communicate this to my partner in a way he'd understand. Mental health is exhausting enough to fight never mind everything else on top of that

I feel you

In the same boat. Try to change one thing a day. Do a craft with baby or an activity. Just something different. Maybe change the way you talk to hubby. Things will only change if you change them. But I know it's hard and easier said than done. But think of one small thing you can do differently in a day and then do something else the next day. Soon it'll be different. ❤️

I think the weather doesn’t help, stuck inside all day, won’t be long before we can go out on those nice spring walks to the park or just round the corner, getting out the house helps for me even going to see family members/friends for abit, even just a walk around a shopping centre so your not stuck inside all the time

@Claire we've got a dog so I spend at least an hour a day walking him. I got him exactly for the reason of being out and about helps. I currently don't drive and don't live anywhere with reliable public transport so going anywhere further than to the woods for the dog is a massive pain

i’m the same, i find it hard to play with my child as she doesn’t want me to play with her because she’s very independent and particular😂 so i spend my day just sat on my own waiting for partner to finish work, we’ll speak for 5/10 mins about his day and then he’s on his phone in silence for the rest of the night before he goes bed and i’m left cleaning the house and sorting washing. i think the worse part is going to bed knowing tomorrow will be the same😂

The monotony is a killer! I've just gotten some play cards with different ideas for different activities. I'm hoping that's going to help. I move round the house quite a lot during the day which helps. But it is still the same rooms so it only helps a little 😂

@Joanna kitchen for meal times, living room for playtime and chill time and by the end of the day I'm like "OMG I have more rooms upstairs" (we moved to a 2 bed house from a studio before Xmas and I'm still trying to get used to it) 😂

Same here!!!!! Always asking for basic house hole stuff to be done but always end up arguing over it. They don’t seem to actually understand what is mummas deal with
