I’m a first time mom. Son is almost 3 yrs old now. But I still struggle time to time juggling work and childcaring. Recently I’ve been sending him to school not as early as last year as I feel almost tired daily to wake up so early to prep him and myself for school and work. I end up getting to office about 10am. I just feel lethargic constantly. Unmotivated by work. I find it difficult to sleep through the night, and not energised when I wake up. Is this normal for early childhood parenting or am I just getting lazy? I feel bad being like this, feeling stressed at the thought of work as work just keep piling and feeling tired almost all the time.
Dear @user559227
Thank you for writing in. I can sense how overwhelmed and exhausted you are currently feeling.
You are not alone in this. What you expressed about how difficult it is juggling motherhood with career, especially the feelings of guilt and tiredness, is relatable to many working mothers out there.
Firstly I am certain you are not lazy at all, what is demanded from you on a daily basis is undoubtedly hard.
I can honestly see you are already trying your best, so please be compassionate to yourself. 
If possible, do gently take stock of areas you could do less of or could prepare beforehand to slowly improve processes in the morning.
I also agree getting good quality sleep is an important component of feeling refreshed so perhaps a bedtime routine may help. If possible, so speak to a workplace counsellor on strategies you could experiment with.
Take it one step at a time. Tweak and make tiny changes to start off and refine processes as you go along. I believe over time and with consistency, you will see improvements to your overall wellbeing.Be kind towards yourself, always.
