I live in Canada we don’t have anything like that child cares really expensive and I don’t qualify for any help
Thank you tho
Sorry you’re going through this! Have you tried deleting apps that take up too much of your time? Write down a schedule of things you would like to do to encourage you to stick to it. Try joining a playgroup and connect with local moms. Be kind to yourself, you’re doing the best you can (especially knowing you want to do better). Best of luck 🩷
Do you have any groups nearby, toddler soft play places? Having a planned activity in our routine helped us so much.
We have Baby Bounce and Mothers groups to go to and friends to see places to go every day so getting out of the house forces me to look decent every day, being out of the house means I get my 10k steps in and on weekends I hit up to 12k. At the end of the week at night I see friends or go dancing so that’s my me time, seeing friends and doing hobbies that helps me not lose myself also I get my socialising/exercising and get to dress up as well. I bring a Bento Box and a water bottle for when we go out and buy myself something cheap but healthy on the go to feed myself like sushi rolls etc or something brunch at a cafe like smashed avo.
Change is hard. Maybe try picking just one thing you want to change and working on that. Forget all the rest of the things you want to do or think you should do and focus on that one little change. And then when you’ve got that one sorted, pick another. Write them all down somewhere in a list and tackle them one by one. It won’t be easy or quick to implement the changes but any progress is good.
Do you live in the UK? If do, would you consider going to work a few hours a week so you can get free childcare. That way you can get some you time, a change of routine and your LO can go to nursery/ play group?
