Missing joy !!

I need some motivation, girls... My little ones are 4 years old and 5 months, and I take care of them all day, every day. My husband works long hours, so we barely have even 10 minutes to talk to each other, and those moments are often interrupted by the kids. My younger one sleeps early, but my 4-year-old stays up late, almost until it's time for us to sleep. We're living in a new suburb, and the lack of in-person friends is really starting to get to me. While I have online friends and family to talk to, I really miss having face-to-face conversations with another adult. I also miss my alone time. I just don’t know how to balance everything. And the idea of going back to work is not there until the little one turns one.

I would put your 4 year old in nursery for a couple of days a week and take baby to some baby classes to meet some mums and to give your week some structure. I would go mad being stuck indoors all day with two kids)!! For you sanity toy need this. Also arrange a day a week when your husband takes over bath and bed so you can have some time to yourself

You need an activity you can go to where you can take both kids. Eg play group.

Can you start a mom group in your area?
