exhausted
Anybody else having a hard time transitioning from one to two? I have a 4yo and a 3 week old. I'm up twice now at night, feeding the lo and it's for about an hour each time. Then when my 4yo wakes up, I have to be up all day and try to find some energy to keep her entertained. Plus it's just me with no help. I'm so exhausted :/
I have a 5 yo and 2 month old. It sucks same boat hun. But I have hell daddy is here. I couldn't imagine doing it alone! U need breaks at least emotional support. Your doing great tho. Just remember your toddler still loves you even tho u feel bad it will pass and he or she will understand
@maru I've been including my toddler with everything bc I don't want her to feel left out. But there's only so much you can do. Sometimes I have to tell her to wait until I put baby to sleep and she doesn't like that
I am the EXACT same way. My 4yo isn't used to me telling her to wait until I get baby settled or I can't play right now bc mommy haven't eaten all day and about to keel over. I know it's all about balance but when you're a single parent, balance goes out the window
Me! I am also up about 2 and then 6 and then my 2 year old wakes up about 730, I am exhausted by then and am not always the nicest mom until I have coffee. Then I am back and forth between them all day. Some days I feel like a horrible mom all day because I am always letting down one of them. I often have to tell my toddler to wait for things or no I can’t play with you or let my newborn cry for a minute while I am getting a snack for my toddler. It’s exhausting but I’m trying to make the best of it, remember it’s temporary and I will probably miss it one day
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...
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!
Short Luteal Phase?
I've just started temping because I believe that the reason I haven't had a BFP yet, after 20 months, is because I believe I may have a Luteal Phase Defect.
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
@ash yeah it is HARD!!! Before I had my baby, I figured I was going to have to do it on my own and basically had it in my mind to do so. But actually doing it is So Hard. I get emotional a couple times a week just thinking about how alone I am and how my finances will drastically change. Plus I'm in the make too much for assistance but not enough to live comfortably category....meaning I have no clue how to pay for daycare. But I got a month to figure it out. Just got to keep pushing through the pain
