Rant

I have an Eighteen month old. By the end of the day, I feel spent without achieving anything else. I mean sometimes not even cleaning the house. I follow my little one up and down because she is an active child and needs to be kept safe. I feel useless as a result.

Your child is loved, looked after, fed and has your full attention so bloody what if you don’t clean everyday your child knows that they are loved and you know what that’s bloody good enough don’t stress about things that can always be done eventually trust me I’m 8 years in and still winging it x

Totally understand it’s exhausting having a toddler . Just gotta do the best you can

Can you babyproof so she has more safe areas to roam and play? Can she help you load the dishwasher or put clothes in the dryer? Have you practiced independent play with her? Sometimes there are solutions, and sometimes you can’t figure out anything. O. Sorry I just saw rant. She knows she is loved and cared for and that is important AND it’s sooo frustrating to feel like you never get anything done!!

Hey mama, you hit the nail on the head of how I am feeling RIGHT now. And I do a lot. My self doubt and low self esteem just clobbering me. Did you have a career or anything before becoming a sahm? I've discovered that's part of the reason I struggle with these feelings. I'm used to being able to look at my day and see the concrete things I've achieved and to get a lot of praise when I do well. Sahm life is almost the opposite of that. I just keep telling myself it is a process and this is the season of life we're in now (mine is 18 months too!) It's not permanent. But lord, just staying afloat is hard work. I feel you lady. <3
