Why do I STILL feel in the trenches sometimes?

No advice but I’m in the exact same boat. Maybe this is just normal, I don’t know but you’re not alone. Keep strong 💪
You're doing amazing. My husband has had to ask to stay at home and work from home for a while again as I became totally overwhelmed and just felt like I can't do this. You're not alone. 💕
You're doing amazing. And you're definitely not the only one who feels like this. I adore my boy and wouldn't change him for the world but I'm at the point now where I can't wait to go back to work for some me time 😂 Being a mum is bloody hard xxx
Yes! I am with you on this. It's like you're writing my life. Exactly the same. It's so tough but we got this! And I honestly think that before we know it they'll be at school. My daughter is already 11 months and I just don't know how the year has come around so quickly 😳 it's so overwhelming though.
I could have written this… in the last few days his sleep has improved a lot though thanks to making a few daytime changes (too soon to tell if it will last) and I’ve baby proofed our house (mostly) so I just put him down and supervise him exploring which is less tiring than constantly playing with him… I’m looking forward to him spending a few days in nursery though as being a mum is hard work!
You’re doing amazing sis don’t worry. Funny thing about me is that, i had to walk backwards and not to turn my back, and if i do all hell will break loose 😂😂 quite tiring for me but i manage to get things done 😂
Thanks everyone for your replies, I feel better knowing I'm not alone, and sending love to all those going through it too. Some bits of motherhood are harder than I thought it would be at this age but it's still extremely rewarding and I wouldn't change my boy for the world ❤️
Have you got a play pen?
Feeling so lonely too! Like really down about it :(
@Lakisha literally awaiting delivery of one this week, I can't wait!
@Hannah I've sent you a wave, feel free to message me
I’ve put sponge play mats in mine so if he falls it’s cushioned. He don’t stay in it long but long enough for me to do the odd chore so less for me to do in the evening! Hopefully that helps you x
Honestly this is me when my fiancé is in the office. I’m so lucky he works from home some days but I’m filled with dread on the other days as I know the house will end up a mess and my head then becomes a mess! I don’t even have the answer, I just feel for you having to do it every week day. I have a play pen that she goes in the kitchen when I’m in there. But the only saving grace is nursery, I went back to work last week and the two days she’s at nursery means the house is tidy and no cleaning high chairs 3x a day etc. so that was *the only* positive about going back to work! Xx
Hang in there mama.. remember we’re doing way better than before . It can take them to get to about 2 years for things to get just a bit normal for us . Going through the same xx
