| Listen to this... |
I look through everyones profiles and they all seem to look the same to me. Every mom seems to be the typical happy, laid back, no stress, type of mom. Now I know that this can't just be me.... I have been a stay at home of two boys that are two years apart and I am so stressed and not at all layed back. And I'm not the kinda person to pretend to be not stressed and when Im on here and pretend that Im the perfect housewife. So Can anyone tell me if they are feeling the same way as me? Is anyone on here stressed as me with the responcibility of taking care of 2 wonderful childern and keeping a clean house and take care of their self and making sure that everyone around you is pleased and happy? |

| Mandi, I'm a new mom, since August '07. If it makes you feel any better: I cried almost every day for two months. I was so exhausted and unsure of what I was doing. Now, although I'm still tired, I'm easier on myself. I only do what I can and forgive myself for what I cannot get done. I also wondered why other moms were so happy, then I realized that if I brought up miserable stories, they had them, too. So, I started focusing on the positive. :) |

| Im a 25 yr old SAHM to two boys that are almost 10 months apart and I go to school fulltime online. I don't even have time to eat sometimes! I AM going crazy, but i feel like if I slow down for a minute, everything that I am trying to accomplish will fail! I just tell myself that in a couple yrs, it will all be worth it. I don't know what advice i can offer, but sometimes I just cry it all out, then suck it up and continue. Just find the one thing that helps you and do it as soon as you can, even if you have to make something up to get away! |

You are not alone! I love my baby to death, he is nine moths old and truly the light of my life, but I have never been more frustrated in all of my life either! It's hard because I want to be home with Cooper (my son), but at the same time I would like to do something other than change dirty diapers every day and make sure that Daddy has clean clothes to wear to work! And I end up taking out my frustrations on Dad, because I feel like he should be helping me more...like maybe letting me sleep in once a week (he works a rotating shift, so at least 3 days a week he doesn't have to be in until 1pm, but he never gets out of bed until a half hour before he needs to leave)! And I get so angry and frustrated, but I don't know how to explain that to him without sounding like I'm complaining. Because he just says things like..."Do you think I like to go to work everyday?" and "Someone has to pay the bills."
Bottom line - I'm frustrated too, but don't know what to do to make it any better either! |
