We don't do playgroup but I regularly meet up with some mums at an indoor play centre. DH thinks I lead a life of leisure meeting up with these mums for relaxing chats over coffee while the kiddies play but I do actually find it quite tiring - even though the play area is relatively secure you have to always be on alert for the possible trouble your child may get into - my 18month old will be by my side one minute then I turn my head for a brief moment and in a flash he disappears. Then I'll find him stuck at the top of the big kids play area or being carried out of the centre's kitchen by a staff member :o. I think it's the being on constant alert that is so tiring!

But the big sleep he has when we get home is worth it!

You're tired because you have a few little kids not to mention a 3 month old baby. Are you eating properly? I have found if I start eating well (lots of fruit, vegies etc) I don't feel so tired and I take vitamin supplements also. And also walk everywhere.

My girls and I go to playgroup every Friday, its hard work especially with Skye (shes one of the youngest) today the kids were all being so loud and screaming, poor Skye got scared and she just wanted to be held the whole time (expect when a toy car distracted her for a bit) I had to hold her the whole hour we were there, usually its a two hour session but we were late today.

Running around after my 18 month old is seriously tiring, especially if we are out. Trying to manage a 3 month old as well as a toddler sounds like more than enough to make anyone tired! Grab sleep when you can (which I know is easier said than done) and it will be easier as your 3 month old gets less demanding.
