Starting to struggle as a SAHM 🥺

Tiffany 💙👼🏼💙

I became a stay at home mom to our now 2 year old little boy back in September. I have LOVED the extra time I get to spend with my little guy, however I literally never get a break and I think it’s starting to get to me. My husband works SO much and he works 3rd shift so his routine is to come home before I get up and relax a bit, go to sleep (usually he’s going to sleep when I’m getting up), wake up & get ready for work, we have dinner then he’s off to work again. He has also been working 6 days a week. So that leaves me doing 100% of the cooking, cleaning, baths, bed time, nap time, shopping, diaper changes, potty training etc. my son has been an absolute terror the past few days and I feel I’m reaching a breaking point. I was telling my husband how hard it has been for me the past few days and he told me that I just wasn’t doing a good job at disciplining our son. I feel guilty for asking him to do pretty much anything because of how much he works. On his days off he normally doesn’t help out because he’s too tired. I feel like I’m becoming the mom I don’t want to be- the one who is always frustrated with their kid 😔 normally my son is a pretty well behaved kid but this past week he has done nothing but whine, cry and throw huge tantrums. At this point I feel like we’re just feeding off of each other’s frustration.

Then the mom guilt kicks in because I know I am so blessed to be able to stay home with my baby and not miss out on moment. Mama just needs a break 🥴
