Yes, definitely. On particularly challenging days, I tell time by how many hours until I put the kids to bed and have some time on my own (only 5 hours to go). Very normal. Some options are to setup some regular babysitting (even if it's just a mother's helper to come 1 hour each week to give you a break) or join a local moms' club so you can have more adult interaction when you are home during the week. Moms' club helps gives both you & your daughter more opportunities to socialize and get out of the house. Our local one is great - they set up playgroups and have a monthly calendar of activities you can attend.

Most definitely YES.
Mine are the joy of my life, but there are times...... :-)
If you are on your own and cannot afford a sitter try this when she napping - do something for yourself! A bath, read a book or magazine you have not gotten to, do something for yourself that you enjoy. Anything that needs to be done in the house can wait another hour. If you have friends with children the same age see if you can set up regular play dates. One week they have your daughter for 1-2 hours, the next week you have the kids for 1-2 hours. This is another way to get some free time and connect with other adults regularly.
You’ll do great!

HAHA, Are you kidding me, You need to get away for few hours every so often, Its very normal, Its ok to feel that way and dont make anyone else make you feel other wise. I know mys ister takes my 4 yr old every so often so my husband and I can have some time off. Yeah we all love our kids to death , but we do need time away, I think it is good for them to be away from us for awhile too. Find a sitter, go shopping or to lunch or just sit at home and watch a movie!!

it is very normal to feel upset with all that going on.let me tell you I'm in a two parent family I work all day and then take care of my daughter at night.When she gets up 2-3 times a night it is me who attendeds to her.I can't go shopping without her she cries if I go to the bathroom. it's not that I don't have help she just wants to be with me 24/7 and it can be pretty annoying.but I found that if you have an outlet like friends and family to talk to or even strangers it becomes alittle less annoying.

Absolutely normal.
And you should find ways to get away on a regular basis. Have a trusted neighbor or relative watch her. Pay a babysitter for 1-2 hours. And then get away and don't feel guilty.
If you are finding yourself desperate, make sure you have a list of emergency sitters. That way, if you're freaking out, you can get out before something bad happens.

i visit anticipate which you have a Betta (Siamese scuffling with fish), considering the fact that that's the main straightforward puppy fish that eats bloodworms, so a techniques as i know. if it incredibly is the case: particular. you're able to feed the fish bloodworms. that's a carnivorous fish and could no longer thrive on common, flowers-based ingredients. only because of the fact the fish lives for some weeks does no longer advise the fish is prospering. maximum petshops sell "Freeze Dried Bloodworms" in the fish nutrition section. they are actually not nasty in any respect (stay bloodworms would be kinda creepy), and that they are uncomplicated to feed. only somewhat pinch. I labored at a petshop, myself, for 4 years. regrettably, i can assure you that an alarming sort of puppy save workers will spout off all styles of incorrect assistance. you're greater valuable off, right here, believing the instructor, who mentioned to offer the fish bloodworms. Take this into attention: To be a instructor, you're able to bypass to college, bypass your courses, and get a level. To be a worker at a petshop: you're able to fill out an utility. on the puppy save the place I labored, we had some workers who did no longer even have any pets, no longer to point know something approximately them.

ABSOLUTELY!!! I don't know a parent that doesn't need a break from their kids. You need that time away to regain back your sanity! You're doing good by getting away for a while rather then taking it out on your dear daughter:)

It is soooooo normal!!!!! Not only do you need "you" time, but your daughter needs "her" time.
I have 2 year old twins and my hubby is deployed to Iraq. If I didn't have my baby-sitter...I would die (we have no family here).
So to answer your question...your are 1 million percent normal.
