This sounds about right for mum life until they’re older!
@Shanika well this makes me feel better that it’s sorta normal. There’s moments where I’m like why do i suck at time management? lol but I’m like no, there’s just so much to do!!!
Aaawww you are doing great don't stress. I'm a new mom after 14 years so I feel ur pain a little. I didn't bt see how moms are doing it with a baby and toddler because I could not at my age. I finish work at 4, on practice days, I pick up my teenagers and straight to get my baby. Which puts us home around 5. I get dinner started and finished around 6 maybe 630. Baby usually goes down for a short nap. Then I can get a workout in. Laundry started. By this time he's up for his dinner. Get his feeding around 8 or 830 and we start bedtime routine. My girls lately have had concerts for school which puts me behind but all in the day. I am a single mother. I have learned not to stress
Who watches them during the day if you both work? Are they in a daycare or do you have help at home? My baby was in daycare and now we have an au pair at home and it was made 1000% difference!! While the baby naps during the day she does the baby’s laundry, cleans the bottles, makes food for her, picks up toys all that. So when we get home for dinner we feed her mostly prepped food and I do bedtime around 7-730. But we eat whatever is around for ourselves and we don’t even try to go to the gym lol!! And we only have the one right now
Hi! Working mom here 🙋🏻♀️ my schedule is pretty packed too during the workweek. I work 4, 10s so I’m off every Monday. Tuesday- Friday I’m up at 4:40am and hit the gym before work from 5:15-6:15 and head straight to the office. My husband does the mornings and drop off. Luckily we have showers there so I get ready once I get to work. I get off around 4 and I’ll get the kids on the way home. Get home around 5pm where my husband and I will tag team doing dinner and entertaining the kids. Usually have dinner from 5:45 till about 6:15-6:30. Then chill till we start bedtime around 7pm. We each tackle a kid for bedtime (3.5 and 2 year old boys). Once they go down around 7:30ish, I’ll meal prep my breakfast and the boys lunches for the next day to help out my husband. That frees me up to do my own thing around 7:45 at night so I can do whatever. Sorry this is lengthy but this schedule/routine really works for us!
I’d love to workout but I feel like I never have time. Life is chaos and stress bundled together and I’m never in a good mood. Idk how to mentally handle all that I have going on but I’m trying to get through it one day at a time. I’m not sure it’s healthy to be honest. Wake up at 6am get my daughter ready for daycare and myself for work. Wake up the other 3 kids. Drive to day care then to work which takes an hour altogether. Get to work late almost everyday. Feel guilty about that but it just keeps happening as much as I try to do better. I never get a full 40 hours in. Get home by 530pm figure out dinner. Take care of 4 kids depending on the day showers cleaning etc. And my 1 year old is just a full hands on job in general so there’s just no relaxing. 9pm rolls around and the kids go to bed and we hope the 1 year old sleeps through the night. I finally get a second to sit down but wait I need to shower now and get myself in bed soon so I can try to make it to work on time.
Following! I can totally empathize. By the time I get home, cook dinner, do baths, and get everyone settled, I am exhausted and end up falling asleep on the sofa.
