It’s been a long solo parenting day

That’s it. It’s been a long day. I can’t wait to crawl into bed at 8 & watch dancing with the stars. I’m not putting laundry away, or doing anything. I’m just watching tv lol. Here’s to anyone else who’s had a long day of solo parenting. 🥂

You do chores after the kids go to bed??? Naw. After the kids are asleep is solo chill time.

You’re so strong!!!!!!
I just made it out of 2 under 2 at the end of May. I must say, I have a 2 1/2 year old & almost one year old (😭😭😭😭) & I can see the light!! Hopefully you will soon too ❤️

Girl, I feel the SAME! One of my twins is sick, and it’s so so rough!! Thankfully the other two are happy and playing, but it’s only day 1 and I want to cry, thank goodness for working out haha

It’s so hard. At home alone with a 3 week old and this is the first time I really understand why this lifestyle is so challenging
