Feeling really down/flat/stressed

I feel you completely. I’m Absolutely exhausted. I have my daughter in the day. I work 3 evenings a week in a job I’ve moved to because of having a baby and trying to fit work in and I hate what I’m doing. I never get any time to myself. Even when I come home from work she doesn’t sleep all night so I’m up most of the night. My car is broken so needing to buy a new car. I feel very stressed and down. I absolutely love my daughter but do wish I had a little bit of me time. I don’t even get chance for a bath these days

Same. Especially since going back to work - including work at home in the evenings I do 38 hours across 3 days despite being "part time". The house is a state as none of the deep clean jobs ever get done. I am physically and emotionally exhausted, my relationship has completely broken down. I feel on the edge of collapse permanently but there is no way out.

Yes, can definitely relate. I lost my job and have ended up a sahm unexpectedly. I love spending the time with my boy but I hate that I'm now doing almost all of the childcare, housework, admin, food shop etc. It's a lot and I'm the only one carrying the mental load too.

My partner works 6am-6pm in London, some nights he doesn’t get home until 8pm so it’s a full day on my own with the LO. Weekends he has a lie in so I still get up and do the morning breakfast etc. with her. He then asked me a few days ago if he thought our sex life was ever going to return to “normal” how it used to be because we don’t have it much anymore !?!? Not sure how he can’t understand that I physically and emotionally do not have the energy for anything but watching tele in the evenings!

@Amy we are very similar on the sex life thing! I've tried explaining that until he starts doing more with our boy/the house etc and taking some stuff off my plate, I physically don't have any energy for that! I'm none stop 24 hours a day as our boy doesn't sleep either still so I'm still up all through the night, every night, still breastfeeding. I'm exhausted. Sex is like the last thing on my priority list.

Same as you ladies 🤝 our daughter won’t sleep, still breastfeeds. I work 4 days a week, get all the disease she brings from nursery. Yesterday at work veins in my eye popped and I look as if I got in a fight. I wanted to be this great mum taking her everywhere and teaching her stuff but it’s rather distant idea atm. I get so snappy with my husband, at this point I think he’s scared of me 🫠
