Burnt out

It gets easier! Mt daughter is nearly 3 now and couldn't care less if I was in the room Or not and just plays on her own! Have you thought of some sort of play pen to keep Them contained whilst you do a few bits or sort your self out? I used to sit her in her cot with toys and take the camera screen in the shower with me quickly! Or if he's not walking yet, a walker was a godsend for me she would just whizz around in it so I could make a tea or whatever x
I struggle. I'm always tired on a morning. When she wakes up, I cuddle her, bring her to bed for a bit, then put her back in her cot with lots of toys and sometimes I fall back to sleep for half an hour while she plays 😅 I then go downstairs and pop her in the playpen and put music on while I make myself a coffee and her breakfast x
@Sophie-Jayne I do have a play pen but he hates being in it haha I wad thinking a walker maybe so I might try that actually and see x
Currently really struggle in the mornings. My 2 older tots wake between 4-5am and my 5wk old has frequent night wakings. It’s okay to allow yourself some time, some self care, some things that you just might need to function and a break. Your child doesn’t need you to play with them every waking moment. I used to do toy/book rotation in the playpen so they wouldn’t get bored, I’d have some nursery rhymes on in the background just so I could get breakfast done.
@Melissa that sounds lovely actually maybe I should make use of his cot abit more as well x
Pop everything you need to get ready in the bathroom night before and that way you can get out earlier x
Its okay to have the tv on for you and still play with them! I used to feel guilty about it like how you feel but its OK to do that and play with them!! Once I started doing that I was so much happier in myself and enjoyed playing more ect as wasn’t putting pressure on myself to be ‘perfect’
