How do other mums do it? I am so so so exhausted taking care of my little munchkin. I am a ftwm. Leave the child in childcare Mon - fri and weekend take care of him. Weekends are just so exhausting as I don't have much family help. How do you find time to rest?

I'm in the same boat. FTWM of a 29 month old, no help from family members, and husband is not hands-on. I learn to pick my battles. I used to insist washing all my beddings every single week, but these days if i feel sluggish, I'll do alternate weeks. At weekend mornings, after finishing his milk, i let my son watch youtube nursery rhymes videos on TV (we connect our tv and laptops) for 45-60mins while serving him light breakfast. This gives me time to get my coffee, prepare lunch, and do some house chores, before bringing him out to the playground/for a walk. I mainly cook for my son only and if i cook for the entire family, i limit to only 1 tool at a time (slow cooker/steamer/pan) and just "dump" in all the ingredients. My son naps for 2.5-3 hrs in the afternoon. I will take a 30-45mins nap before continuing with housework and dinner prep. Same thing with night time. Will nap when he is ready for bed before waking up again in the middle of night to finish any unfinished business. I take half-day leave once every 1.5-2month to do massage (tuina) or just catch up on sleep or for any other personal stuff. I live on coffee, coffee, and coffee.
