Everything has shifted for me since I sent my son to daycare.
I think most parents would agree that it’s normal to feel some level of exhaustion when it comes to raising a toddler, but I’m worried that what you’re describing is something completely different. I was a full-time stay at home dad when my daughters were young, and there were numerous days when I could barely motivate myself to get out of bed to make breakfast or engage with them in any physical activities.
Also, you shouldn’t feel guilty for letting your son play by himself while you watch in the background. It’s a healthy practice to have him discover the world on his own terms without you engaging with him at all times. One thing I really want to tell you is to be kind to yourself. Every parent on the planet has dealt with mental health challenges of some sort. Not to mention, your son isn’t the only human in this equation who has been sheltered for a long period of time. I’ll go out on a limb by guessing that child-free interactions with grownups aren’t as plentiful as you would like, and that would be hard to handle for most parents.
