Any other exhausted moms feeling overwhelmed?

Hi moms! This is for the moms that basically raise kids alone due to unique circumstances not in our control. Just wanted to ask you guys if you’re also so exhausted all the time. We don’t really have people to watch our kid so it’s just me and my kid all the time. I’m feeling pretty overwhelmed what to do every day… (basically by ourselves) and finding it hard to enjoy motherhood in general. I just feel so tired and trying to think of things to do and if I’m doing enough makes me more tired and sometimes unmotivated. Not necessarily depressed just idk how to make days more enjoyable with a whiny little one by my side all day lol. How do you guys find joy in motherhood day to day esp the moms who do it basically alone? I feel like I should be enjoying this more but I’m not to be honest. Also, money is pretty tight …but I definitely feel like it would be more enjoyable if we could just go places all day long 😂😂

Idk how to do it better but I have 13 mth old twin girls and i feel like I run 13 marathons a day! My husband gets home around 6 and when he says he’s tired from his non manual labor job- I have to pray to all Angels to keep my cool.

Same thing here! All I can do is go outside as much as possible, take walks in the neighborhood and go to the playground. I pack his favorite snacks and get some coffee for myself that way it feels more like an activity to enjoy. I always take his walker with us and he loves walking around the park. When we are home I put some water in the large basket and lay towels on the floor bring some toys and let him play with water, I do the same thing with uncooked red lentils, pasta etc and he plays so well. Lastly, if you have libraries near you they are perfect for spending a few hours and they even hold story telling times for babies.
