How are people coping with a toddler?

@Emma I’m a stay at home mum so it’s 24/7, 7 days a week 🫠 with no breaks. I’m sure I’ll feel better once I’ve had a cry!!!! X
I understand you so well. I am a SAHM and have a 15 month little girl and pregnant for a second time. My husband works all day. It is sooo difficult alone with no help. I have been so many times at my breaking point. I don’t think having two kids will be more difficult than this
I also have a 22 month old and due second in September, you are doing amazing managing both without your partner to help at times! It’s so hard and I say that with being able to get 5 minutes here and there!! I find it so much easier if I go out, if we stay at home it’s tantrum after tantrum!! Are there any toddler groups near you or could you look into nursery too, it’s heartbreaking sending them initially, my daughter started at 14 months, but now omg she LOVES her two days a week at nursery, would give you a break too and I think when the baby arrives it will be even more beneficial for me personally!!
Does your little one go to nursery? X
It’s so hard, honestly work is a break for me (and I have a stressful job!) so I feel for you!! Have you got anyone that can help out? Sounds like you need a little break to be honest as you’re burnt out. Can anyone have them for a day or so and you could have a night away?! I have a nearly 2.5 year old and sometimes I think how will I cope on mat leave with them both 🙈 toddler will still go nursery 2 days a week though!
I have a 2.5 year old and have two days in the week solo with her and them weekends husband sometimes works but I try and make him be around. But those two days solo I can see where you’re coming from it’s FULL ON! I’m embracing letting her play and make mess and just always have to be out the house I find easier
