Feel like a terrible mum. I have such a beautiful 2 year old girl and 5 month old son. I feel like everyday is a battle though and i dont look forward to waking up everyday. My days consist of "what can i make my daughter today for her 5 meals, "she is so picky ,she wont eat much or the same meals or anything with texture barely unless its fruit. If im not spending my time in the kitchen, its spent breast feeding bub or sitting outside miss2 room battling her to go to sleep day and night, it can take 2 hours and the only way to get her to settle n sleep is if shes had a cry. Then theres cleaning n more cooking, by the time both kids are finally in bed, im too tired n stressed to enjoy anything. Hubby does so much n helps out when he can as he studies full time, he will never say no to helping. I wosh i could just have 1 day to escape(bub wont take a bottle)

oh, it is hard work having two under two! Could miss 2 go to occasional care of daycare a day a week or so so you can at least have a one slightly less stressful day
Hubby is studying full time, didnt get his contract renewed at his job juat before bub was born, weve been applying everywhere for a new job! So with both of us on centrelink we cant afford it, barely scraping by as it is. We also have no family here either :(
There are some cheaper child care centres which help lower income families. Perhaps try your local council and see if they have anything available or could refer you to other service providers.
