very energetic 12 month old

[ewabear]

I am completely exhausted and tired of entertaining my 12 month old.. I am aware that this can sound weird as I have decided that I want baby, but I am exhausted and do not know what to do as I don't have family where I live. Is this normal? she has so much energy that I have never seen anything like this before, especially in the evening around 6. Is this normal that Im looking forward to  the evening when she will be asleep?

My DS was the same, just full of beans. As they get older they get easier to tire out though! Have you tried trips to the park, swimming?

It's completely normal to look forward to an evening to yourself. You're not alone at all!

Just saw this thread. Sounds perfectly normal to me, LOs are exhausting.
I went to as many toddler groups as possible as they always felt like a bit of time off to me even though I was still responsible for him. Getting a couple of mins to say hi to another adult really helps too, esp with no family nearby.
