Overwhelmed

I have 2 under 2 and I work from home full time plus take care of the kiddos. Something is always slipping. Usually it's laundry. I feel you, you are not alone 😭
I am so sorry you are experiencing this but you are not alone! It is so hard to keep up with all the things we have to do each day/ week. Give yourself some grace! It is hard to do I know but you are worth it! Just know you are not alone! Motherhood is so challenging and wonderful, and us mamas gotta stick together! Sending light and warmth your way!
I get it, I feel like I’m constantly behind on housework, my 8 year old has developed a serious attitude and then my 2 year old is well a toddler who I can’t seem to wean from breastfeeding or get sleeping thru the night & then I have a 7 month old 😭 so ya send help. I’m always hard on myself too, try to think of what you would say to a friend and say it to yourself. 💗
I just wanted to jump on to say you’re definitely not alone! The laundry is my big bare. You think you hit the bottom of the pile, and then BOOM, there’s more! It’s actually crazy. Just do what you can. You’re only human! Plus you’re a Mum of 3! I’m constantly feeling overwhelmed with the state of the house, worries about money etc, but what’s worrying going to do?! Look at it glass half full approach.. your kids have clean clothes on daily, right?! That’s a win in itself! I’m sure you’re smashing it. Just be kind to yourself. It’s so easy to put ridiculous amounts of pressure on ourselves as Mums! You’re doing great 🥰
You are doing great that's a lot of kiddos to manage especially if your partner is gone or working. I am always cleaning and the place is rarely clean lol. Our older kiddos don't really help but we used to give them allowance as incentive and now that I am working again we are going to be doing this again. At that age they have no motivation to help...allowance helps them learn what it's like to have a job and get compensated fairly for their efforts. But they also should learn how to simply take care of their things without compensation...just hard to get kids to understand this ya know.
