Does anyone else get so caught up in motherhood you forget about yourself?

I get so caught up with my 4 year old, my 8 month old and school that I barely have time to even pee.
I’m going to make it a build myself up day just for myself. We all need break days, I’m going to curl my hair, do my nails and possibly make up. I’ve been so ran down by my husband lately. All he talks about is his job and it’s all he cares about. So I’m going to make it a me day. Most days I don’t get to brush my hair 😞

Daycare

First time mom of a baby boy ! I’m returning to work after 12 weeks soon and I am dreading having to put him in daycare . I have so many negative thoughts when it comes to having to leave him with strangers 😪 . The daycare seems very safe and the workers seem very kind but I’m still in my head. Any suggestions to ease my mind ?

Feeling like I’m parenting alone

I’m a SAHM and I know what I signed up for.
For the last few weeks or a month or two; I just feel like I’m the only one taking care of the daughter. My husband works at a bank and when he has to work on a Saturday he gets a day off in the middle of the week. I thought it would be nice to have him home for an extra day to help me caring for our daughter. Today was his day off and I wanted to leave the house alone to get my nails done. While I was gone my daughter in a full diaper. I fell like I’m always changing her diapers. I can’t even get one day to sleep in.

He wakes up early to go to gym before work. I want to go to the gym and I suggested going to the gym at night when my daughter goes to bed. He’s like no because it’s getting dark and there’s not going to be a lot of cars in the street. I only like 10 minutes away from the gym.
I feel like I want to scream but nothing is going to come out!
