Juggling life😩

At the moment I’m really struggling with juggling everything (housework, looking after myself, taking care of lb, food shopping, baby classes, time for my partner) and I feel a burn out coming on. How do people manage all of this, it’s never ending. lb always comes first without a doubt. I always feel embarrassed if my home is untidy… does anyone else feel like this?

Online food shopping has made a huge difference for me!

Me too, but I live with my mum and step mum, I don't create a fraction of the mess and it's driving me mad, I hate a messy house x

Literally stopped being house proud. It’s too much for one human and we have a dog too. I embrace and do what I can and then reset on Sunday when hubby is here.

He also is very low maintenance, doesn’t care what/when dinner is.

Struggling with this too. House is a state 😩😩

It’s not for everyone and definitely not life changing, but, every little helps and I’m clawing back some sanity, I still haven’t got the hang of it yet and totally understand where you are coming from but here are some of my tricks. I online shop and meal plan while feeding. I plan 1 or two meals a day and add them to the basket so the shopping doesn’t become a huge mental load and add other bits as I see them running low. When I bring me and the baby down in the morning I take 1 load of washing with me and I clean 1 room a day. I’ve been trying to write a list of all the things I get done in the day and tick them off because I felt like nothing was ever getting done but when I looked at the list I’m pleasantly surprised and think no wonder I’m exhausted. Other life admin gets done while nap trapped. And either I’m clean and dressed or the house is spotless. I can’t have both at the same time and usually everything is somewhere in between and im learning to be ok with that. Xxxx

Yes, it’s very overwhelming. I feel like I look an absolute state 99% of the time too 🤣 My little girl is only having x2 20 min naps a day at the moment too which doesn’t help 🤦🏻‍♀️ x

Avatar

yeah my little boy is cat napping for sure 30 minutes tops a few times a day, and if it’s not napping it’s wanting my attention or keeping him entertained 😩 x

Avatar

And keeping up with messages from people! For some reason I struggle with that and will look at a message, think about it then type something, then get distracted by something else happening around me and the message never gets sent!

Avatar

Also, literally had a little cry earlier because of this exact reason. Just so overwhelming

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣

Loosing connection

I’m currently 28 weeks pregnant and my partner can’t and hasn’t come anywhere near me sexually for about 12 weeks or so now. We tried but he got put off saying he was worried he was hurting the baby. I’ve spoken to him about this trying to tell him he can’t and he’s no where near, I’ve sent him email links I’ve had through on newsletters. My libido is through the roof and I’m worried we will drift apart if we don’t have aex again soon.

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.
