I rarely come on here. I don’t have Facebook. I am a stay at home mom. My husband is in the military so he works full time. We have a5 year old son and a 1 year old daughter. We do not have a baby sitter or anyone who helps to watch our kids . They’re with me all the time. I rarely get time for myself . My husband tells me to go do something for myself when he gets off work but we all know that mom guilt is real and leaving them for even an hour is much easier said than done. We dream of having “me” time but when we get an opportunity to do something without the kids for a change, all we think about is them. Some days I feel like I have my stuff together and others I feel like I have no idea what I’m doing. Some days I feel like super Mom and others I feel like I’m always doing something wrong . I’ve heard from other moms that this is a Normal part of parenthood. I understand that. Today is just one of those days where I have dealt with multiple tantrums and crying and my son lied to me about something he did that upset me. I feel overwhelmed today and I just wanted to vent somewhere where I know someone has gone through the same or understands where I’m coming from. I’m not perfect and yes, life could be much worse but I’m a mom and it’s hard.
Awww i know the feeling! I hope everything got better since this post which is now 2 months later. Mommy guilt is normal. But it is important to get that break from Mommy duties to take care of you. Once you get into that routine of "me time" it is always worth it when you come back home to your babies and it helps ease your stress. Hope this helps. :)
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Ever have a bad gut feeling about your husband ? Like he doing something he shouldn’t or whatever ?
So idk if I’m an asshole for thinking this but a girl I used to go to school with is having her 3rd kid and she’s planning a baby shower and she had one with her other two. I feel like a baby shower is something you do with ur first pregnancy. I live far from my family so I didn’t have one but i did have a baby registry and I’m not even doing that with this pregnancy. Idk I just feel like 3 baby showers is a lot! Especially when she gets things handed to her. Idk maybe I’m an ass for thinking that
Every time I eat I feel like I have something stuck in the back of my throat after. It's driving me insane
@aulias_mommy, I’m rarely ever on here but thanks for responding! It means a lot to hear from another Mom who shares the same feelings. I’ve been getting out more often at least a couple times a week for 1-3 hours to get some time to myself and it helps a lot! When I feel overwhelmed it helps to clear my mind and I come back home feeling relieved. I’m lucky my husband is supportive and let’s me get time to myself. I hope you’re doing well!
