How to be selfish?
I work so hard taking care of my family and everything that consists of keeping our house a home etc. I end up feeling jealous of my husband because I feel like I do so much more work than he does, like, he doesn't have as much responsibilities at home. Our relationship is having problems but I'd really like to focus on myself because I feel worn down and like I'm not Nicole anymore, I'm just Mom and Wife. It's all fun and games until I realized I'm insecure, overweight, can't seem to focus on school work so I can go back to work and feel that good independence again. I want to learn how to be selfish and take time for myself. Does this sound impossible with a 1 year old? Lol I feel like I'm just dreaming.
I've been a stay at home mom for 6 years and I still can't figure out a way to find me time. I do feel that over worked feeling it's hard to mange everything around the house, kids and a hubby. It's sad I was thinking just this weekend, when was the last time I did something of or myself without kids and it was in January. Very very very sad. I don't even know how to fix myself up anymore if it's not yoga pants shorts and a big t shirt I'm lost on how to dress myself. I feel so ugly all the time
I need more hope ?
I think a lifestyle change would help me.
I just moved to a totally different place. I have 1 friend but she's basically in the same boat except she has more kids and her husband is away for work for a while.
My problem is if I go out my husband will usually hold it against me later on or complain how he doesn't get time to go out. As if I'm stopping him ?
But he gets to be at work all day with 1.5 hr lunch, chat with co workers while I'm a sahm. I'm not complaining, but they're totally different jobs. I use to think he understood but I think he was just letting everything build up and once in a while he would blow up on me.
But I agree with you, I need to make a new schedule for myself to do something a few times a week. I'm thinking gym/classes, finishing online school, finding a church, and a mani/pedi 2x a month.
That's not selfish u deserve time for ur self u can't take care of any one if u keep neglecting ur self!!!
Just start with a mini pedi if u into that. On like a Tuesday ask a few friend to go for lunch on a Thursday start going to the gym on any day join a class it's a lot u could do. Tell ur husband u would like at least 2 hours or something a few times a week!!! U have to find some me time!!! Good luck.
Btw I went through the same thing n I just told him it wasn't fair I need more help!! N that's what I got.
Good luck Hun
I then cried because he Messed up all my hard work! broke nap schedules tv time etc. he let the kids do what they wanted!!
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...

A Statement from Mom.Life:
Hey everyone!
Last night, a new user began messaging our moms asking for private pictures of toddlers and young children. This is obviously unacceptable behavior, and the account was banned immediately. Although thankfully extremely rare on Mom.Life, several users were understandably upset by this, so we wanted to clarify a few things:
First off, Mom.Life has an absolute zero tolerance policy for child abuse and those who would prey on children. We strive to ...
I'm feeling the same. I try to "look cute" sometimes but I still don't feel right. That feeling blows!
