Things I’m strugglingwith lately as a SAHM of 2

1. Decision Fatigue: Not only does my day to day life require me to make many decisions (what are we gonna wear, eat, do, etc), but I’m currently planning my daughter’s 1st birthday and a fairly big family trip. With that, I’m suffering big time with decision fatigue. So when my husband asks things like “Should I change the sheets?” or “Does the 2.5 year old need her diaper changed?” I tend to just lose it out of frustration.

2. Resentment: My husband gets SO MANY BREAKS. He commutes to work some days. He gets to eat in peace. Go to the bathroom in peace. Run everyday. Go watch football or go out with friends whenever he wants. I’m always jealous that his life feels unchanged since we’ve had kids.

3. Burn Out: I. AM. TIRED. I always get up early with the kids. I’m up all night with my youngest. I never get a break and I’m feeling it big time. Even when my husband takes the kids to his parents so I can get a “break,” I usually am doing tasks like cleaning. Last weekend I scrubbed the floors for 3 hours straight and didn’t get even remotely done. I am losing steam quick and I’m struggling to pick myself back up.
