Be honest if you have a toddler/young children. Is your house a mess most of the time and do you slack on house work??

Sometimes feel like I’m the only mum who struggles to keep up on things. Then I’m busy all the time I feel so lazy when I get spare time I just want to relax. Is anyone else the same?? Toys everywhere every day lol

Over being pregnant

Is anyone just over being pregnant? I’m only 32 weeks but I’m so ready for baby to come already. I have a very active one year old and I’m just exhausted and uncomfortable all of the time.
