Anyone else struggling?

Hey everyone! Is anyone else finding parenthood and life really hard right now? I honestly feel like no matter what i do, it isn’t good enough.. I’m really struggling with the fact my children are catching every single bug going, theres not a week when there isn’t something wrong with at least one of my children.. lack of sleep, basically living off energy drinks, constantly stressed out.. dealing with another big thing that i haven’t told anyone about as if i do its all gonna become surreal and i have to actually deal with it.. just meh 😓

Yes mama! I’m struggling rn too. How are you coping? How old are your littles? It’s been an exhausting year already so I definitely feel you 😭

Yes !🫠 I really really need to vent. I’m having one of those days where I feel like losing my sh*t so I live near no family since having to move miles away and i have zero support from family or friends and I’m constantly running myself into the ground and I never cry but just recently over the last week I’ve cried a lot and my 12 month old is a child I can never ever put down it’s been like this since the second she came out of the nicu unit I don’t even know what it feels like anymore to have my arms free 😂👩‍🍼so when she naps and she isn’t a good sleeper by the way but when does she nap instead of me napping too I then use that time to do housework , wash loads or having a shower very rare I sit and watch tele but when I do it’s moana and frozen and miss Rachel 193883833 times a day I can sing all the words for word now too ! 🤘🏼😅 I never get me time and the first and last time I had a night away from my baby was going back 5 months ago that was the first and last time x

Currently sat with a mouth and throat full of ulcers again where I’m run into the ground AGAIN thus a monthly occurrence and currently awaiting an iron transfusion at the hospital again and b12 and folic acid boosts I’m finding it very hard also x

@Chloe warm salt water rinses for ulcers? I’m so over miss Rachel 🙄 I banned tv for a while because I need a break! How old is your LO?

@Sharnee been doing it and it’s made my mouth and throat worst 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ and youngest is 12 months a couple of weeks ago and my eldest is 10 x hop little bunny hop hop hop 🤣 x

Im so glad im not the only one! @Sharnee i have a 1 year old, 2 year old and an 11 year old stepson. I just feel so burnt out🤦‍♀️ @Chloe i feel you on that one, im so sorry youre feeling like this! My messages are always open if you need a rant!! Us mums have to support each other! Its so hard juggling everything! I only get to eat or shower when my little girl is in bed, because as soon as i try, she decides she wants mummy 🤣 youve got this hun🩷 i get ulcers all the time too! I was diagnosed with postpartum depression after my second, but my medication doesnt help at all🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🩷

@Chloe I wish the little bunnies would sleep till noon. I close my eyes for bed and all I hear is miss Rachel 😂

@Emily yeah definitely burnt out! I have a 2yo, 1yo and due in Jan 😵‍💫 been having to stay in (and move) airbnbs every week since Feb because we’ve struggled to get a rental ($20k later…) its just so draining

@Sharnee oh wow! Youve got it all going on. I did really want a third baby, but i don’t think my mental health would cope. We have my stepson 50% of the time too! And its honestly like having another toddler sometimes 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

@Emily don’t forget the husband too 😉

All day urryday! Welcome to the party.

@Sharnee 🤣🤣🤣
