How to stop being so overstimulated??

Ughhh I feel so guilty.

Whenever my partner and I are both present to parent as a team I'm fine but whenever it's just me and my daughter I get so overstimulated, like by the time it gets to bed time I feel like my brain is fizzing (the best way I can describe it) and it makes me feel so bad... Like maybe I was never cut out to be a mum 😭

And I don't think my daughter would ever know I'm so overstimulated, I try my best not to show her but I just don't want to feel this way. I'm sure my partner doesn't get this overstimulated whenever he has to solo parent so why am I like this 😭

1. Do you have adhd and he doesn't?
2. Having a kid around is constant. Ut never stops, we need little breaks. No one parent can look after a child all day without feeling the overwhelm. It's hard work. It doesn't make you a bad mom.
