Is anyone else struggling to get everything done in a day?
A few months ago, I thought things would be easier by now (LO is 8 months) and that I’d have more time to do stuff around the house, but things are actually harder? I think because we’ve introduced solids and mealtimes take up so much time with all the prep and cleaning up. He also needs more stimulation and interaction than before. By the time he goes to bed around 7pm, I just go to bed as well as I’m absolutely shattered. But the house is a mess and the chores keep piling up. I don’t know how anyone keeps up with it all, let alone has additional time for things like gardening or hobbies. Is anyone else feeling the same?

Yep! Same here!
Feeling exactly the same 😢 I’m always so exhausted and have no time for anything
Feel the exact same and my LO is also 8 months. I feel this has got harder over the last couple of months. I start back at work in a couple of weeks and I don’t know how I will have the energy 😴
Looking after a baby is a full time job. Keeping a house running and keeping up with the chores is another full time job. Cut yourself some slack! Do you have a partner who splits it with you? Can they do more? Or some friends or family who could help? Can you outsource some of it? We have a cleaner once a week at the moment and she just keeps the wolves at bay. I understand that's not an option for everyone, I'm just sharing what's helped us.
