So I have 3 kids, ages 5, 2 and 10 months. I will admit I’ve been fighting depression which doesn’t help, but I think I might feel better if I could be more on top of this. It just feels like the mess literally. Never. Ends.

I can get my oldest to help but she tends to get distracted easily(which I understand she’s 5) and puts everything in the same bin/box/pile so I have to sort it out and put it all away anyways. She knows where things go, she just always wants to get back to whatever she was doing so she half asses and I just end up being a pushover and being like

cause I’m just over everything right now. So yeah I know that’s ultimately my fault for not being stricter with getting her to put things away where they belong.

But I’m overwhelmed and exhausted, some days I literally can’t keep up with it. So much toys. So much dishes. So much laundry. Food to make. And it feels like no time to do it. Unless I stay up til 3-4 am..

if I focus on cleaning for too long during the day I feel like I’m neglecting my kids and then I get anxiety feeling like I’m a bad mom because if I could just keep the house more tidy I would be able to do more things with them instead of stressing about cleaning..

Anyone else feeling like this?

Any advice??

I’m sure we have a few more months of this so I need to figure something out, I’m going crazy..
