I can relate to you your definitely not alone. My little one is also pretty perfect I love her to bits but adjusting to caring for someone else full time other than yourself is hard. I’m in the same situation as you with my partner who works ,wanting 3/4 kids, not having many friends and even having teeth problems. What has helped is honestly romanticising everything I can. Getting myself ready, going on walks, having me time when baby’s asleep, finding a new hobby.
