How is everyone else handling the sahm work load 😭

Well I just got diagnosed with severe adhd and I’m on meds now, hoping that will help my overstimulation lol. It’s fight or flight everyday here with 2u2. I feel ya

How old are your children? Maybe sending them to pre-school/nursery might help you calm down. Honestly I feel exactly like you, and I also had 2 under 2.

Im a FTM with a 3.5month old and I don’t know your situation or how many little ones you’ve got, but one motto I swear by is: short-term pain, long-term gain. Our dog sheds like crazy and there was always hair on the floor. I invested in a robot vacuum—no more daily sweeping or mopping. I meal prep everything, snacks included. Portioning into containers or little baggies means I can just toss together a one-pot meal in minutes. And laundry? I don’t waste time folding everything. I hang what needs hanging and the rest goes straight in a drawer—done! Motherhood is full-on, and sometimes you just have to do what works. The effort now means more breathing room later. You got this, mumma!

I don’t know how sahm can stay home. I’m always out, I take my boy out that’s how I stay sane. When I had 2U2 girls I took them both out both baby and toddler, to groups and libraries and zoos and whatnot we were just never home. I do the laundry- hang it up from the load I put on overnight, then I feed everyone get us dressed and go out, they take their naps either in the pram or car seat otw home from wherever we went that day. If they look whingy that day then I def get us all dressed and go out that’s the only thing that keeps my sanity lol my kids don’t drive me insane out of the house (coz they’re playing, distracted or just sitting in the pram looking around) compared to being at home and being called Mummy a a million times a day. And then my breaks every week on a Friday night, hubby does bedtime routine and I tag out and go out, see friends have a couple drinks we either go out or I drop by a friends or my sisters’ for half the night. That’s my sanity.

Get out of the house. Fuck that cleaning! It’s an every day thing. You clean it they mess it back up again. So what’s the point. You are not a dirty person. You are a mama. Their mama. And they need you at your best. Your house isn’t dirty it’s lived in. Remember that. Paper bowls plates cups spoons. Take them to the park so they can burn out for a 2-3 hour nap right at the beginning of the day. Fold one basket a day. That’s it. Choose one household task per day. That’s it. And make some friends. But get out of that house!! It will drive you insane. My heart goes out to you. I was just going through the same thing. Now i take my girls everywhere. Look at the city site for free events. Look on social media for FREE events. Trust me. They have a ton out there. Get out of that house. ❤️❤️❤️

It's neverending itll be there tomorrow whether you leave it today or the kids make a fresh mess. I don't know how old your kids are but on a Saturday morning it's a whole house clean and my kids are heavily involved, youngest just turned 3! If your husbands home his hands required, it means just maintaining across the week I put most toys away in a cupboard and they come and ask to play with them 1 at a time it means I can regulate them cleaning away afterwards I operate a 1 cup, 1 bowl/plate, 1 cutlery model and a quick was after every meal One day we have quick meal chucked in the oven and I have a chilled day
