[quote=Anonymous]It gets better OP. He’s an only child like mine was. It meant I was the playmate for the first 6-7 years. Once he’s old enough in a year or two and making friends at school, swapping play dates will give you small breaks in the week. In the meantime, a couple of things to lighten your load - Hire a weekly cleaning person. It doesn’t matter if it stretches your budget. Do it and budget it for the next 2 years. Also, Your DH needs to do half the school pickups, and arrange for half the family dinners. It doesn’t matter if its rotisserie chicken and bag o salad from the grocery store. Lastly on a weekly basis, you need to arrange a 2-3 hour break each week OP, whether that’s your DH taking the kid, or arranging the babysitter to cover… go to the gym, the park, yoga, go for a walk, the library, a coffee shop, whatever and let that be your weekly respite. Carving out solo time is how you recharge and get through this.[/quote]
