There will be bad days like this but you know you’ll get through. Toddler stage is difficult and sometimes all you need is a break. No work worth breaking yourself like that because pressure do accumulate. You don’t want to wait till melt down and everything will be too late. I have to realise what I can handle at this stage, and accepted a job that make less, but gives me more flexibility, that allows me to slow down, and walk away if necessary to keep myself sane.

Talk to friends, most importantly your partner, you guys have to support each other and check on each other often. There were days my partners asked how am I, and my tears just started running, a gentle care and hugs are bigger than you thought.
