Basically a single mum needing help
So my partner/BD over the past 6 months or so has been a complete arsehole, I’ve got 2 kids to him and my 2nd baby is 4 months old but since I was last pregnant, he’s changed into a massive dick, anyway at the moment he’s been a massive arsehole like usual and I think we’re coming to the end of our relationship and luckily I don’t live with him and I have my own place but he’s not coming to mine this week and my family are busy all week or on holiday and I’ve got no friends since I had kids, my point is I can’t tidy up properly and every time I try to my baby cries as he’s very needy which I love him for but it’s tricky at times luckily my toddlers at nursery 4 days a week but even then it’s difficult when it’s just me n baby I haven’t been able to do a full house tidy in ages and I like to put my music on but I’m just finding things so difficult as I have to keep stopping 10 minutes or so and I’ve only got between 9:30am to 3pm Monday to Thursday to do anything other than that I don’t have any time especially on an evening I’m so exhausted once the kids are in bed.
If you’re a single mum with 1 or more kids how do you cope especially up keeping your home?

Forgot to add my baby doesn’t nap for long either especially with this heatwave
Have you tried baby wearing? Honestly using baby carrier was the only way I was able to do anything really, from cooking to cleaning. My LO was very much a Velcro baby 🥹
Baby carrier could work?
Or take the bouncer room to room so he can see you and just do little bits at a time (like 10mins) then give him some attention then do another 10mins. Its surprising what you can get done in short bursts! ☺️
No worries, you're welcome ☺️
I find doing things in different rooms sometimes helps. Like for example I'll do the washing up and put a load of washing on, then 10min break, then go fold up the washing on the airer in the bedroom and put that away
Hopefully the carrier/bouncer help and you're able to get some bits done 🥰
