On the way home. H skipped her nap and was hungry. We got stuck in traffic and it took a solid 45 minutes for me to get home (I live FIVE MILES from daycare) and she screamed for the last 30 minutes. I handed her to my husband and locked myself in the bedroom before going to my exercise class. Then I treated myself to french fries and a milkshake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-days-where-you-just-want-to-run-away#post-2390990 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 14:29:17 +0000 brownepiano 2390990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely. I think some of it is pregnancy hormones but it does make me worried about lo #2! Sometimes I tell my toddler he just can't sit on me for a while. But it doesn't usually go well... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-days-where-you-just-want-to-run-away#post-2390863 Wed, 16 Dec 2015 13:41:50 +0000 NovBaby1112 2390863@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! I'm totally having one of those days. I feel like I'm just totally failing at this whole mom thing. My 3 year old is constantly pushing every one of my buttons and testing limits/not listening, and I try so hard to remain calm and use all of my energy using positive methods but then she just pushes me too far and then I start yelling which I feel horrible about. Between her waking up at night with nightmares and just calling out for me, and DS waking up for his paci, I feel like I'm going insane! DS is a relatively easy baby but even when he's fussy i just feel so badly I have no energy to deal with it since DD sucks up all my energy. Just needed to vent :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-days-where-you-just-want-to-run-away#post-2389057 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:26:44 +0000 twodoghouse 2389057@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm so sorry. I hope you all get some rest today. :heart: </p> <p>I'm sort of having a day like that, too. I'm trying to night wean A and B and it is not going well. There's just a lot of screaming for me in the middle of the night. DH is trying to help out but neither baby appreciates that and it just makes it worse. But it's also torture (for them and me) for me to go in and rock them without nursing. We have tried a little of letting them cry it out but I can't handle that and then DH and I are arguing in the middle of the night about what to do. It's probably make for a funny sitcom if it weren't my life. My nerves are just shot right now and my kids are tired which means they are pushing all the boundaries and trying my patience more than usual. I was hoping we could get this figured out by Christmas and have a shot at getting a little sleep while we travel, but it's not looking too promising. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-days-where-you-just-want-to-run-away#post-2389037 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:19:07 +0000 autumnlove 2389037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs! I really wanted a break the other day after a brutal car ride in traffic with LO 3. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-days-where-you-just-want-to-run-away#post-2389021 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:12:20 +0000 LovelyPlum 2389021@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yes, yes. It is for days like that that I am on Xanax :wink: </p> <p>In all seriousness, though, do you have a friend you could call for an impromptu play date/back up support? If I'm at home with LO and I start to escalate for some reason, I try to get someone else to help, even for a few minutes! (Neighbors, etc).</p> <p>Hang in there, Mama :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-days-where-you-just-want-to-run-away#post-2389016 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:09:00 +0000 snowjewelz 2389016@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs :heart: :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-days-where-you-just-want-to-run-away#post-2389012 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 10:07:47 +0000 Foodnerd81 2389012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yesterday. And the last few weeks really. I'm just so tired and feel like I have been for years. And I'm 2 days from my due date with no sign of labor starting, my toddler and I have both been sick with colds, she's entering the defiant stage of 2s, the house is a total mess and I'm too tired and sore to clean it.... So yes I will join you in running away to a quiet room with a comfortable bed, where I can magically lay on my back. </p> <p>A good indication of my current state of mind? We were watching a tv show last night where a couple had just had six and were laying back after... I was jealous that they were on their backs. (Tmi?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-ever-have-days-where-you-just-want-to-run-away#post-2388915 Tue, 15 Dec 2015 09:16:52 +0000 sorrycharlie 2388915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>gosh I need a break. I feel like I haven't slept in weeks (in reality, years - literally...no longer than a couple hours at a time). </p> <p>my kids were exhausted yesterday and fell asleep at 6-6:30. not totally abnomal. My youngest slept solidly til 9, then woke up and was up til almost 1 am. yes, almost 4 straight hours. Finally get her back down, and my oldest was up at 5 for the day. Baby got up at 6. </p> <p>my husband doesn't do night wakings because he has to be up for work at 4 am, but neither girl responds to him at night anyway and only escalates, which makes things worse. </p> <p>I'm at the point today where I just don't want anyone touching me or talking to me. I'm obviously not taking that out on them, but I want to scream! I want the dog to stop following me every flipping step I take, I want his nails to stop clicking, I want my toddler to just entertain herself for a little bit, and I don't even know. </p> <p>Anyway, just venting. :P Days like today I wish I worked outside the home and got some time to myself/with adults. </p>
