Am I being unreasonable?! Ladies normally im a lurker, but I could really do with some outside opinions on if im expecting to much.. here I go!
For the last week ive had hideous flu, like sweating, cant lift my own head, just want to lay in a heap until its over flu but I cant because ive got 3 spirited tiny humans to look after, dh works 50+ hours a week so hes helping out with bed time but the rest of the week ive been crawling round the house in my dressing gown trying my hardest. My brother and mother live 20 minutes away and do nothing during the day but neither of them have offered to help out or even asked how im feeling and my fil, and both sils live 30 minutes away knowo im unwell and havent offered to pop in or help out either. Normally I don't have any help, we never ask for baby sitters and do everything for our children ourselves, but this week ive really struggled am I being unreasonable to think out of all these people someone could help me out?
Not unreasonable but if you need help you have to ask. People are caught up in their own lives sometimes and don’t necessarily realize when someone is needing help unless they ask.
I agree, ask for help. If no one helps after asking then you have a right to be annoyed
Your not being unreasonable for wanting help but they possibly might not know if you haven't asked for it, I'd maybe ask your mum if she could have the kids for a few hours for you?xx
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. ?

I need help ladies I cant get to the dr till monday but this is my 2 week old daughter's eye. :( im a ftm and have no clue what to do other then use a warm wash cloth to wipe it.
Trigger. Lost baby
Went in for my 20 week check up and found out our son had passed away. Nothing was wrong, my pregnancy has been going great. I'm so numb right now. I'll he delivering him later this week. I don't want to do this. I don't want to do this. Not before Christmas. How am I'm going to tell my kids?? My dear sweet baby boy. Why did this happen?
I broke down at my moms house today ... because of the debt we owe and Passover is coming and it’s a very expensive holiday ... it was just way too much .... my mom i guess told my brother that I’m suffering and he called me over and asked me why i didn’t just ask for help, and offered to help when i need it . And gave me basically 4K to help for the month and if i need more to ask ... now one thing about me , is that i will suffer silently and won’t ask for help.... I’ve always been that way. ...
Please help!
My doctor is trying to induce me before 40 weeks because she's going to be off on my due date and says my placenta is starting to look old. How do I get labor started?? I don't want to be induced for no reason and I'm thinking I won't have a choice. Please help. What do I do to get things going?
Thankyou ladies! I was feeling a tad irrational this morning and it turns out you were all totally right I just needed to ask, I rang my brother and he came round straight away and took care of the little ones all day :)
A lesson well learnt, never be to stubborn or proud to ask for help.
