Being a neurospicy mum over 40 — neurospicy mum
Should toddler bed time = Mummy bed time?
Posted by kerry dibble on
Do you go to bed at the same time as your toddler? Do you find it affects your relationship with your partner, your friends, your older kids, or your sense of self identity?
As a neurospicy mum I suffer chronic overwhelm if I do not get some time to myself, or just to do the things that I find fun/relaxing/grounding. Having a toddler on my body all day AND all night is just too much, and causes me to become overstimulated and impatient (not my best mum self).

Some rich bloke is getting a new hat and this is apparently cause for celebration, so off we all go to sit on tiny sticky chairs and make small talk in a room full of chaos.

Do you ever find yourself standing over your slow cooker, in your house that you organise, pay for, clean, run, with your kids tucked up safe in bed and your long term partner in the next room, and just think to yourself...."shit...when did this happen!?"
