Hi mom! I wonder how do you go about your daily life, being a full time mother and housewife, having two or more young kids age 1-5, staying in the house with no helper at all but you, and doing everything from baby caring, to laundry, dishes, kitchen, and etc., without being exhausted at the end of the day. I need responses even from those whi have gone through this. I simply want to know if my fear of eventually not being able to take care of my kids because i might get sick due to severe stress or break down is valid.

I've been there! Most people don't realize how stressful it can be to be a stay-at-home mom. Unless you have your children on a routine, the days can be very chaotic. The best thing you can do is set up a daily routine that you stick to. That worked really well for me, and the kids understood that certain things happened at a certain time each day. If you feel like you are getting too stressed out, don't feel bad about asking someone to watch the kids so that you can take a break. If possible, see if there are other stay-at-home moms in your area that you can connect with and set up playdates with. You can do it...and good luck!
