Going f*cking insane. SOS

I’ve been sahm for a few years, I had such patience. My kids who are still little but not old enough for preschool yet are literally making me crawl out of my skin. I feel the irritability growing every single day, I snap more though I have some rare zen days I’m nervous and frustrated. I exercise, I try to prep so it’ll be easier, but I feel like I’m breathing fire the ball of overstimulation growing please help me be a better mom

I have clay work, doing my nails and eyebrows as stress relievers as well as exercising which works for the night but I can only after they go to bed so doesn’t help for during the days when I’m on my last nerve

I have no family for states around us, my fiancé works almost all day everyday

Is there any parent night out events around your area ?

Try to get a babysitter for just a couple hours a week. If you’re able to just get someone to watch your kids for even just two hours every Saturday, that could help you get a little breather!

Take the load off somehow. Whether that’s a babysitter, a house cleaner, a meal prep service etc. Hope things get better for you.

You need more time off. Ideally a whole day. Trust me you'll feel so recharged. Next day your fiance has off, go out alone for at least 5 hours

I bake when I’m feeling that way. I set the boys up in their space and give them something to do and I go clear my mind in the kitchen.
