Just so over it

Absolutely exhausted from the constant barrage of illness/ teething/ sleep regressions/ tantrums. I just feel like I’m going to war every sodding day. My daughter is fighting every nap and bedtime so I’m getting zero break, she’s ill and teething molars and so when she’s awake she’s so miserable and clingy. Like it’s a complete vicious cycle and I’m finding it SO HARD to not think why did I ever think having kids was a good idea?? Like I had a nice life before. Then I feel like a shitty mum because she’s clearly going through a hard phase and just needs her mummy 😭 💔 Literally want to run away today 😩

I have felt like this when he was a baby who never slept. The level of exhaustion really influences the mood and you're not a bad mum. You're a whole person, not just someone's mother. Sleep deprivation is an actual form of torture, remember that. You keep showing up and being there even when you need a break. That's a good mum

Yeah I’m the same at the minute. She’s constantly ill/teething, she’s fighting all sleep, fighting anything frankly. Can’t get her changed/washed/in the car/out the house without a fight. I’m exhausted. She used to play happily or watch tv if I needed a minute but she’s up my ass 24/7. I can’t leave the room without her screaming and following me, pulling at my legs. You’re not alone

Thanks so much for your kind words and support ❤️ I was having such a dark day yesterday! Slept a bit better last night (only because my husband tackled my daughter all night!!) so my perspective has shifted a bit. Also ‘nice’ hearing it’s not just us going through it - makes you feel a bit better 🙈🫠
