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?

Absolutely with you on this one 🥴🥴

pulled so many muscles this week it’s so hard 🤦🏻♀️😅

I'm with you. Never felt less like myself, I'm an absolute mess 🫣

Haha been feeling this for past 5 months! No advice just another struggling mum 🫠🙃

permanently shattered 😩👌🏻

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

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

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!

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

Struggling with this too… cant do to much during the day, and hubby only gets home6.30-7. Then its dinner, bath, sleep time … 9.30 -10 when she is down for the night i am to nackered to do anything …🙈 have good days though when she is asleep for an hr or so , so trying to do stuff then … 🤪🤪
