I love my kids to pieces. They are adorable and super cute. That being said, I hate the way I am nothing but a mom! I have no time to do anything for myself anymore..my dh works by day&night..so there's no major help coming from him.
Here's my question: what can I do to keep myself sane?? Any advice?

Get a hobby.
Go out for lunch every once in a while, whatever that is for you.

I try to..its just super hard to get around with two kids under the age of two.
I guess I'm still adjusting to the fact that my freedom is totally gone. I got married not long after school and had my two kids one after the other.
Someone should have warned me how hard it's gonna be...

How old is your toddler? Maybe she would benefit from going to school?

They both said that she does too much trouble and they can't keep up with her.
Honestly I was really shocked cuz all toddlers do trouble...

Mine never did either of those but she's wild in her own way. How old is she?

The biggest issue with her is that she's super quick. She'll climb on a chair to reach a outlet and plug in a wire the second she comes home. Two seconds later she'll climb into my baby's crib and tickle her...u get the picture...

Keepsmiling1, its quite hard and my 2 youngest are about 20 months apart so I know exactly what you are dealing with! 2 year old seems like yours. He'll pick up baby and then drop him of push baby over when he is getting ready to crawl. recently, we started services. He is speech delayed learning to play by special instruction and receiving OT.
He can run into street and he has, although he seems to be getting the concept of not going into street, I can not trust him for 1 second! You must give yourself a break and Maybe get your child evaluated for therapy and they can teach child how to interact with peers and play appropriately, and follow directions!

I found it helpful to do playdates with other moms and their children of similar age. Just having another adult around to shmooze with is great, even if the adult talking time is constantly interrupted by chasing the little ones.

Didn’t read other respinsss but I so relate. Music!!! Music brings so much Simcha and chiyus into the environment. Do what you can to dance and laugh with your kids. Go for walks with friends. Even if that means hiring a babysitter. The companionship and exercise combined is therapeutic. Mostly though just hang in there. It comes and goes in waves- there will be beautiful times to come!
