Mum’s of two…does it get easier?

I have a 2.5 year old and 4 month old and I just feel like my nervous system is wrecked and body is broken. I rarely get a moment to myself and if I do, I feel swamped with trying to keep up with housework and sorting everything else that needs sorting. The state of my house stresses me out so much - I can’t keep on top of the clutter and I never get a chance to actually clean. I do have support - my parents help out a day or two a week but I just feel like I don’t get a chance to breathe. Even when they’re here I am usually with one of the children as well, it just takes the pressure off. Maybe it’s just having a small baby again that needs pretty constant attention, nap support, feeding and wakes me up hourly overnight… but I’m just feeling so depleted and overwhelmed. When will I get some quieter moments to myself or is this just a thing of the past now I have 2 little ones haha 🙃

It gets easier! Just give it time 🥰 mine are 15 months apart, 18 months and nearly 3, and they can now play together or independently while I get bits done. It's still chaos at times but a different kind if that makes sense :)
