Mental is slang for "insane" used primarily by the British and Australians.
Literally, it means "absolutely insane".
You could translate it as ヤバイ or 信じられない.
Like ヤバイ it can be used to express shock in a good way or in a bad way.

E.G.
Joe:
I've been working 12 hour shifts for the past 3 days, its been absolutely mental...

E.G:2
Jack: I Just did a backflip off a moving truck!
Bill: That's absolutely mental!

People say absolutely mental when something is crazy, ridiculous, unbelievable, or insane.

In the context someone has been solo-parenting for two consecutive days.

This person thinks this is ridiculous, crazy, unbelievable or insane.

"That's absolutely mental"
