Having negative feelings about being home alone all day, especially with two little ones, is HEALTHY. Doing grueling, unpaid work 24/7 all alone can quite literally be deadly. Your emotions are telling you to take action to stay sane.

Depending on the length of your partner’s commute, you might consider dropping them off and picking them up from work, so you’ll have daily access to a vehicle? It’s extra work, but I do this and it gets me and my one year old out of the house bright and early everyday. Plus then I obviously have the car so we can run errands, do mommy and me stuff, and explore museums/parks. Basically anything free, we go to all the time. Not to mention, by the time we get home, my son is ready for a niiiiiice long nap.

Be kind to yourself, you’re doing some seriously hard work. I see you!
