Ive been feeling lately that my toddler is smothering me

Whatever you do don’t scream at a kid for being a kid. You cope with it by just doing it. There’s no answer on how to handle a coming situation that you haven’t actually experienced yet. I know it’s hard to be nice when you’re tired but do whatever you can, whatever you need to keep your cool. Set bedtime a bit earlier if you like being up alone at night. Takes about 3 days to a week to adjust if you put the effort in now. Easier said than done but actually give your kid a 100% safe room to put them in when you’re feeling too overwhelmed or angry so you can shower, smoke, eat, drink caffeine. As long as they’re fed, comfy, clean. Look up guides online to check all the safe boxes off.

Sounds like your in a already quiet stressful situation, having a child is very demanding to me as a mum of three one who has left now this feels like a inner call to find something that builds your cup back up do you have much time alone? Hobbies ect I still get it now when I feel I want to escape duties the washing up will always be there treat yourself with the most love and respect now, learning to be a single parent is hard even harder if you have a partner that should be sharing the load and doesnt ! Start doing bits for you and dont feel guilty for having needs too we often forget its also our first time at living too amd we deserve the love we outwardly pour into everyone around us as women ❤️

Start by creating healthy boundaries with your toddler telling them mummy needs a moment when you feel really overwhelmed and verbalise to your child you feel that as they learn by what you teach them that will be beneficial for them later on to put their own needs first and seeing that solidifies that take a breath mumma you are doing a great job trying and reaching out looking for support you arent alone we all have these days and anyone that says that they dont is a big liar ❤️ feel free to message me directly if you need a ear no judgement from over here a safe space is waiting if you need a little rant xx
