Any parents here have children and are without the help of either own parents or parent-In-laws? I'm in this situation. Hubby and I are on our own and I'm almost worn out liao. Use to have maid but she stole my things and I sent her back. After that have phobia having maid cos previous maid really gives me a lot of prob. My mom's two maids also created a lot of prob. So I have a bad bad phobia about getting a maid. I have two kids aged 5 and 10 months old. I'm a working mom too. Day time kids go to childcare and infant care. Otherwise, we handle on our own and I feel very worn out. Anybody same situation as me? Can share how u cope?

Wow moms, i envy all of you. Unfortunately, for myself i have no family member, friends nor even a part time helper to help. No inlaws either. So its just me and hubby. Till the extend that when i gave birth to my second we had no one to care for my older boy. I understand how you feel. Then again i can only try to relate. No one will understand the difficulties we face. However, we still managed right? To think of it, i never coped, its either do or die :) im sure all you need is empathy and support this point in time. Cheer up, dont give up.

I stopped full-time work and started part-time (to the chagrin of my husband), and my stress level is more manageable now, and I have less breakdowns. When I had postnatal depression, I started seeing a psychiatrist and I was also encouraged to join support groups such as Mindful Mums https://mindfulmums.sg. Hope this is helpful. Big Hugs Mummy!
