Kids 24/7
I am with my kids 24/7. It’s driving me insane. I have a 3 year old and a one year old. My toddler isn’t in preschool/daycare because we make too ouch for reduced/government childcare and on the waitlist for public preschool my 1 year one is sooo clingy I have to wear him.
My toddler no longer takes naps so I’m literally up from 6 AM - 10 PM watching them both. Then sleep with both in the same bed. (They will not sleep alone. My husband and I have been trying to get them to sleep alone since birth). So this also means no sex. Since they sleep with us and my son can’t be away from me.
My husband works so for the most part I cook, clean, do laundry, run errands, shower, use the bathroom, play, etc literally EVERYTHING with my kids 24/7.
The mommy and me play groups and kids gyms charge an insane amount for group play so those groups are out of the question. I need a break. I have no adult interaction and entertain my kids for 16 hours a day. No family or friends to help.
I find myself getting angry and I yelling ALOT! I haven’t had a minute to myself for 3 years. Advice please?
I have even thought about going back to work to escape but I live in SoCal and full time daycare is $2800 a month just for my 3 year old. So unless it’s a well paying job, it’s literally cheaper for me to stay home until they are in school.
Help???
