Yep I get it. I’m a solo mum who works full time. Free time is spent driving around little aths, basketball and swimming. My house is trashed, even though I’m constantly cleaning.
My kids are 7 and 4, I guess it’s just Stockholm syndrome now. I find doing fun things with them helps me cope better. It would be hard for you with a 1yo though, fun stuff and babies don’t go together. Today the kids and I went to a festival. You get so much more back when they’re older. Babies are cute but the interaction with older kids makes the daily grind more enjoyable.

completely agree with that @Mod-Wise Enough !! i really struggled with ds when he was a baby. it’s all hard repetitive work with nothing back. it’s definitely getting better now he can talk, we’re starting to do more fun stuff, he can last longer without sleeps etc.

I totally agree and understand! I also feel like societal expectations of what it us to be a mum hasnt changed with the times. I constantly feel pressure to be a stay at home mum even though its just not financially viable. And if it seems like ive dropped the ball or not with it, i feel like I'm judged. I also understand about the extended family pressures, i too have some similar stresses.
