Mum question: I have 2 little girls ages 1 and 3. Both are challenging in their own way (both not good sleepers) and I feel I am becoming more and more drained as time goes on. I have a wonderful and supportive hubby and family but we still struggle to keep up with day to day life without many external commitments. I have realised lately that I have lost myself. All I am now is a mum and a worker (in my job) and the me that was once there is long gone. I spend all of my time focused on my family that I dont take time for myself, participate in hobbies or even really see many of my friends (apart from an amazing mothers group) Is this just the norm now that I am a parent? What do others do to help feel alive and keep going when things just feel so hard? How can I reconnect with myself when I barely have time to shower? Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!
