Only enjoy being a mum when I’m out of have company at the house.
This may sounds obvious to why I prefer being a mum when I have company at the house or an extra pair of hands. But I always get the Sunday scaries knowing I’m going to be without my husband all week, it fills me with dread.
Once I’m out of the house I’m absolutely fine and tend to enjoy what I’m doing but I hate driving home knowing I’ll be back on my own in the house with just the baby. It’s getting strangely really draining flipping from one emotion to the next. Part of my day I’m in love being a mum and want to freeze time, a few hours later I hate my life, I’m at the brink of tears and it just feels overwhelming. Flipping between the two emotions is getting out of hand but I’ve no idea how to get more balanced. Or is this normal?
First time mum to a 7 month old.
I would say it’s relatively normal, for me anyway. I think I get so overwhelmed when my fiancé is in the office because I cannot physically keep on top of the house as well as being a mum. Since being back at work and baby going to nursery twice a week I’ve found myself actually avoiding being in the house alone at all because I just can’t deal with the mess it gets in with toys, high chair mess, dishes etc. it’s just so much easier to go out. Plus baby is entertained all day so I’m not struggling with that either x
