I think im having a break down 😢

I’ve felt the same these past couple of weeks, all my son seems to do is whinge and cry and throw tantrums. Nothing calms him down, he can have 5 minutes being happy as a pig in s*** and then goes back to throwing things, chucking himself back and screaming
I have my husband but no other family to help and it’s getting me down and then I go through the cycle of feeling guilty for feeling like I need a break 😂

Its so frustrating when you are at the end of your rope! Having no sleep makes even the loveliest day tough so when kids are acting up its the worst! Sending virtual hugs, is there anyone you can call to come give you a hand, or are you able to go outside? I know it seems like the hardest thing to drag yourself up but fresh air honestly helps perk you up and may help of LO is outside to run about and burn some energy off?

First off - You're doing great and you're not a bad mum. What you're doing is tough and is about to get tougher but you CAN do it!! Second, you cannot and will not achieve everything perfectly so you need to prioritise what's most important to you. Right now, it should be sleep and quality time with your daughter. Sleep when your daughter sleeps during the day as well as night if you can and take you both out for daily walks in the fresh air. Be mindful. Stop for a takeaway decaf coffee on the way and find a bench to sit and watch the trees, birds and people walk by with your daughter. Talk to her about what you see. Be present in the moment and give yourself a chance to reset and realistically decide what you can achieve with the housework that day. I always have a hot washbowl going so I can wash a plate or cup straightaway. Put your daughter in a highchair with toys while you do a whip round the kitchen. Focus on clothes and dishes only. Everything else can wait for when you have help 😌 x
