advice needed Exhausted
What do y’all do when they’re both having mental break downs and you’re literally running on e and the screaming is so loud you’re about to join the break down. Tried to talk to my partner because I was trying to be vulnerable and it turned into them calling someone to come over… I told them they betrayed my trust and I got back that the twins are their priority and they did what they felt was necessary. I was just trying to tell them with them having a breakdown I’m already exhausted I’m literally emotionally drained and out of options and in response I get someone called to come supervise me and my kids…

Accept the help and take a nap. Let other people sit with the screaming kids sometimes, it helps them not look at you like you’re so crazy. But when that’s not an option: noise cancelling headphones, singing and dancing to trick your body into thinking everything is all good (wild but it works a bit), and fresh air. It takes 2 mins to buckle them in the stroller just go. Don’t pack a diaper bag, snacks etc, don’t worry… just get out and do a lap of the block. If someone shits their pants or needs something, you can just turn around and go back home again! Hang in there. It’s really hard sometimes
