I broke down! Sorry, long!!
My DD had soccer practice today and while I was in the back with her trying to get her cleats on, my son (10) thought it would be funny to lock my doors and not tell me. Well, lo and behold, I closed the door and locked my keys in the car! Not a huge deal, my husband was supposed to be there in 15 minutes. I had talked to him 45 minutes before and he said he was getting ready to leave work.
Locking your doors We are having a discussion on one of my birth boards from my older kids about locking doors and security alarms. There are many of us (me included) who do not lock our doors at home (I actually don't even have a deadbolt on my house and we don't lock it when we leave either), and others who think that's totally weird. So what do you do? Do you lock your doors? Do you think it's weird that people don't?
My 2 year old just locked me outside for 20 minutes. I was standing on the porch with my oldest waiting for the bus and withing 30 seconds, Liam had it locked. He didnt realise how he did it so he couldn't undo it and was freaking out. My keys were inside so i couldn't unlock it. As im trying to unscrew the ac from the one window, he finally unlocks it. It was pouring rain the entire freaking time! Hes never messed with the door like that.
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 and did something else with an other girl.... and it's 10:51 am now and he hasn't texted me at all. and after he dropped me off I texted him saying what I felt and nothing. I don't know if I'm over reacting or what or what should i do. do i wait until he text me?
my mom died this morning. She lived with me. this morning she woke up and went to the bathroom. i was on zoom and i heard a bang. she died in the bathroom. i wasn’t able to open the door or help her. she’s had health issues but this was unexpected. my kids were at home, i had someone come get them. i had to stay in the house with her body until the funeral home came to get her. idk how to tell my kids. they loved her sooooo much. i don’t know how to be at home. i’m just so lost. she was all i had. my dad died when i was 12. idk i just wanted to vent.
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. ?

And it's okay to cry. Sometimes it takes one little thing to just push you to your limits and all you can do is cry. I think it's good to continue to allow yourself to have low moments. Hugs, mama.

I hope you feel better after a good cry. It sounds like you need a mommy time out. Might be time to go do something just for you.

I literally just hit my toe on the bed and ripped my pinky toenail off.
Maybe I just need to go to bed now. LOL! This day obviously isn't getting any better.

How old is she?

Yiu definitely need some time to rest and relax. A nice warm bath might help. It always makes me feel better.

I think we've all been there once or twice. I know I have! Just remember that the days are long, but the years are short. (I repeat that to myself sometimes) Let yourself have these moments and give yourself a time out, and wake up ready to have a better day tomorrow ❤️

Sounds like a really rough day. ?
Hope the good cry helped you feel better! And I pray you have better days and it all goes up from here! ❤️?

Thanks ladies! I came home, cooked dinner and am now snuggling with my littlest in bed. She passed out with me, which never happens anymore and I'm just enjoying her snuggles.
Pp, my DD will be 5 in 1.5 weeks.

I think most of us have those days where it is all too much. I am glad you have a river to escape to and be alone with your thoughts until you are ready to confront the issues. It is great to take time to clear your mind and have a good cry. I hope tomorrow is better.

Thank you all, you're making me feel much better! I was feeling pretty defeated earlier.
It's been rough, I won't lie. On top of the high risk pregnancy and all the stress that comes with that, my boss, who was also one of my best friends, who I've worked beside for 9 years, quit a few weeks ago. I've since taken over all of job requirements, as well as keeping mine. I already worked 45-50 hour work weeks and now I'm lucky if I work less than a 10 hour day. It's been taxing on me physically and emotionally, as well as on my relationship with my husband and my kids.
I just want to go out on leave early! I'm worried what this stress and long hours will do to my health and my baby's. I'm having terrible insomnia where I just wake up at all hours of the night and cannot go back to sleep.
It's getting so hard to juggle being 7 months into a high risk pregnancy, working essentially two jobs, managing a business unit of 12 other people alone, 3 kids, and all the house/wife stuff. I'm just so exhausted. I don't know how I can keep up!

What happened to your son? 10 is old enough to know better.

He's 10. He definitely knows better.
How old was your daughter that was crying?
I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

He said he thought he was helping me. I don't think he was intentionally thinking about it. He's already grounded for bad grades so there wasn't much more I could punish him.
She'll be 5 in a week and a half.
