I just can’t do this anymore.

Okay so I personally think it sounds like you may need to look into therapy 🙂. Can you try and explain why you feel this way and then maybe people can give suggestions on how to help you. What’s your diet like ? Can you make a routine or change your routine? Is there things in your life you can restructure like for example to many toys so experiment with toy rotation ❤️

I ask what your diet is like because I was eating really unhealthy and for the past Week I’ve been eating better and my mood is totally different I feel relaxed and less angry x

I honestly get how you feel. I barely get time away from kids to just be a human or be with my husband without kids around. I get out of the house for a few hours twice a week but it's usually grocery shopping and I'm still with my kids because we don't have anyone to watch them. I love my kids but sometimes I just need a break from them. Maybe ask your SIL for another little break to help get time to breathe. It's okay to want time to yourself, we're still people outside of being moms. 💕 I'm sorry you're so burnt out right now, I'm right there with you 😔

Girl, I completely get it. I get in these moods often, tbh I don't think that ever went away but there are good days and lately there have been more good than bad. It really does suck right now for some of us but we will get through this tough time and things will get better. We just have to keep going ❤️

Girl I totally understand. I have 4- Ages 8,4,3&1. And I feel like I have been in the trenches for years. Especially after my 3rd was born, two 18months apart was so so hard. Now with a 1yo in the mix, I am so burnt out. I am a newly single mom too n my ex husband lives out of state so I really am allll on my own. Trust me when I say, the thought of running away has crept in my mind more days than not. I haven’t been to therapy yet but I did talk to my doctor to go back on my medicine for PPD. I’ve had it all of my pregnancies since my second born. I haven’t started my medicine yet but it was nice to be heard and understood with grace. What’s been helping me lately was changing my diet, my mindset and getting into routine everyday. I’ve learned to just embrace the chaos. And when I’m overwhelmed, I plug into an audiobook w headphones and start cleaning. Helps me kind of tune out for a second while I make my environment less overwhelming.

i totally get it, especially being a SAHM its literally a 24/7 job, i love my kids dearly but sometimes im burnt out. i think once i get an 8hr sleep ill be better. i hope you start feeling better soon

Maybe going back to work will help?

Everyone needs a break sometimes don’t feel bad. I feel like this too sometimes as I’m home with my son not back to work yet and get maybe an hour without him a week at most, /it’s been almost 16 months now and I’m telling you im so excited to go back to work part time just to have a small break out of the house! Although I know once I go back I will miss our time together. Taking care of kids is one of the most stressful jobs on earth- especially when they’re your own! Try to make some time even a few minutes to take care of yourself, ask for help if it’s available to give yourself a break, go to your doctor just in case of ppd I’m sure I had it and didn’t go get help when I should of, and try to get out of the house with your kids. I know it’s hard getting them ready but sometimes just a change of scenery can change so much, I know this is my biggest problem is feeling cooped up. Hope this helped ❤️

You say it's not a matter of taking a few minutes to yourself, but those 90 minutes with your husband felt good, right? And if you did it again, that would feel good, too. And if you did something else nice for yourself, that would be three in a row... Kids under 3 are a lot, but it won't always be this way. You'll shower again without having to call in a favor. Get regular help. A biweekly babysitter, part time daycare, a gym that has childcare. You're 100% right. The time you have away right now is not enough. Get help with the kids. It's ok. We all need a village. 🏘

I felt like this so much! So now both of mine go to nursery. 4 days a week, i find my identity.

I just wanted to add I was not being mean or trying to make you feel bad I’ve felt the same way ❤️

I swap with my partner so il have an hour alone for a bath book run or whatever then hel go to the gym or something
