I am a mom of a 4 year and a 15 month old. I feel like this pandemic exhaustion has taken a toll on me as a mom. I used to be a conscious, creative and a gentle parent with some terrible moments. Now, I am just more angry, mean to my 4 year old and get triggered easily. It’s so so so hard and I know we’ll get through this BUT I think my kids are just going to hate me soon:( how do I get out of this vicious cycle of losing my shit —- feelinguilty - vowing to be a better parent??

I think I want to be in relationship, but I fear that I actually am just lonely and not actually ready for relationship.
I desperatly want someone that I can spend time with, laugh with, and tell good news to amongst so much else.
I don't know what to do or if anything can be done...

Thoughts anyone?

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.
