Same dear you are not alone. Look for day care options if not then most gyms have baby care areas. Just join those and have some time to relax.
@Melanie aww love yes same here although i do attend groups as its easier to entertain him there than at home as mine is the same bored of toys in seconds 😩 bless you it’s so hard but i do just think it’s not going to last forever to get me through each day and make the most of what i can xx
@Khooshali I have no chance he won’t leave my side and I wouldn’t want to leave him anyway but thanks hun. There’s not a gym by me that does this though xx
I totally get it.
It’s so so tough. We’re exhausted and have to entertain someone 24/7. Can you afford paid help at all? I used bumble to find a sitter to come and play with my daughter for a couple of hours twice a week so I would have a shower in piece and eat, and speak to family on the phone a bit. It’s not a lot but it gave me strength to keep going until she got older and more independent. You are definitely not alone
My mum is 3 1/2 hours away and my partner is in the army and he's away 5 days a week. I have a 10 year old and a 3 month old and its hard work. I don't get a break, even the weekend he helps but my body clock is now so used to getting up, half the time I'm waiting for her to wake... it's really not easy! X
My family is abroad and my partner's live away too and he is working. I so get it and I so feel @Melanie (besides I don't even have a cat haha)
You were not alone in the situation and I feel for you. I’m a single mother and I struggle with the same thing since birth my 10 month old has just been with me and whenever I attempted to put him in daycare or anywhere else he would scream for hours. We both have separation anxiety because we’re always together and whenever I’m home and I’m trying to do something and I put him down. He screams until I pick him up. I’m currently dealing with this and trying to find routines so that I can have time to myself. I don’t breast-feed and he’s extremely clingy with me. I tried to distract him with the toys, little snack, and from time to time I give him a tablet to watch educational shows. You should try to find a daycare or try to hire someone that can help you in home so you can try to relax to get a breather. If you have not already try to communicate this with your husband and express how overwhelming all of this has been on you. I hope it gets better for you.🫶🏽
I'm so with you on this one. My family is in Madeira and his are in Romania. We have no family AT ALL in the UK. He works full time and I'm just at home all day with my 9 month old who literally needs entertainment every second. I take her with me when I wee and I have NEVER showered unless it's in the evening and when dad's home cause I literally can't leave her. She gets bored of toys in seconds. The only thing that she's calm for and enjoys are walks in the park. I haven't attended a single group, but that's just personal choice. I feel safe at home and less anxiety but yes, it's so lonely. I find myself talking to the cat for some sort of break. But the cat just walks off. ,😭😅 you are DEFINITELY not alone and I am so with you. I'm envious of wanting just half an hour break but we have no one. I even asked the cat and he just looked at me funny....
