Not enjoying motherhood at this age 😩

I’m so sad to say but I’ve got to a part where I’m just no longer enjoying being a mother. I feel like every day has become a war and I’m just so tired of it. The tantrums. The not eating anything I put in front of them. The battle at bed time EVERY. SINGLE. NIGHT. Trying to put together fun activities but having them show absolutely no interest. Fighting everything at every step. I’m done, I want to check out. And I’m pregnant with our second. How the heck am I going to do this again? Please tell me it gets better, please tell me this is just a phase. I want to enjoy my time with my child but honestly it’s become such a chore!

This sounds so tough :( do you ever get a break? Do they go to nursery at all? I'm also pregnant with my second (29 weeks) and all the added hormones are making me very emotional and probably overreact at times. Feel free to message me x

It gets better hun, the pregnancy hormones will be making it feel waaayyyy worse. Sounds like you need to catch up on sleep where you can. It’ll pass, allow yourself to feel how you feel without any guilt. Motherhood is hard and lonely but we hear you!

My little one is very much similar atm. It’s so draining especially the bedtime situation. I took her to the zoo today just me and her (we live near by a small one) and she whinged most of it (prob from her lack of sleep) and it just was not enjoyable so we left just after an hour! She used to be such an easy going great sleeping baby but now its complete opposite 🫠 i feel you and im sure alot of us are experiencing similar atm with their age xx
