I work FT and am 28 weeks pregnant with a 3.5 year old. I can barely move once she's in bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427743 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 14:31:09 +0000 fussygal 2427743@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tired! I always get big plans in my head for the things I'm going to do one LO goes to sleep, but after she goes down and I do the dishes and clean up her toys most of the time I just veg out :bummed: Around Christmastime I was getting good at forcing myself to start a project or task and it would snowball into actually being productive - I need to do that again! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427679 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 14:07:43 +0000 Cherrybee 2427679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been off sick from work for three months, while my LO continued to go to daycare/inlaws. I've actually been functioning in the evenings for a few weeks now and it has emphasised just how utterly exhausted I've been for the last year or so. Its not just a physical tiredness, its a feeling of complete burnout by the time I've gotten E into bed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427659 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:57:33 +0000 sarac 2427659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stay at home with a 6 month old and a 4 year old who is in preschool, and I usually have energy left over to exercise in the evenings. It's hard because the baby is up a ton, then I'm tired, but if I'm too tired to exercise then I'm just more tired the next day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427651 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:52:31 +0000 Mommy Finger 2427651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: I curse that second wind!!!!</p> <p>Lately I've been more tired since the baby has been sick so he isn't sleeping well. And that means he's been sleeping in our bed. I really don't like cosleeping. It doesn't work for our family so I'm hoping this is a temporary thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427564 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:02:22 +0000 Golden 2427564@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm only ever really tired when I'm pregnant. Otherwise I'm a night owl.<br /> Mornings always have been and always will be rough but that's why they invented coffee. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427562 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 13:01:31 +0000 blackbird 2427562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some days, I function on fumes. Some days, I'm ok though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427561 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 12:58:52 +0000 looch 2427561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tired. I get up at 5:30 most days, so if I could just sleep until 7, it would be a different story. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427555 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 12:50:41 +0000 pinkcupcake 2427555@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>SAHM and I'm usually okay - tired but nothing too terrible. Unless I'm sick (or in first tri like last few months) I'm usually okay </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427549 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 12:46:43 +0000 AB810 2427549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So exhausted. Both of my kids are night owls and fight sleep until at least 9 pm (no matter when I put them down) and by the time they fall asleep I'm fried. No time for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427302 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:53:41 +0000 yellowbird 2427302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exhausted. I have been running non stop for months and having health issues so hopefully I will have more energy soon as things slow down and I get better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427291 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:47:30 +0000 Mama Bird 2427291@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been on leave for a few months and I can usually sort of stay awake after the kids are in bed. At least, awake enough to sit with DH doing something mindless. When I'm working, half an hour in a dark room putting them to bed, and I'm done... I can't keep my own eyes open. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427243 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:30:43 +0000 winniebee 2427243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WAH...and I can barely move by 8 pm. But then there's clean up from dinner, lunches to make, and I shower at night. I try to be in bed by 9:30 and get 30 minutes to relax before going to bed. My kids wake up at night and/or rise early, so I have to be asleep by 10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427237 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:28:36 +0000 mrsjyw 2427237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WAH most days and I'm still exhausted by 7pm.</p> <p>Then I get a second wind and can't fall asleep until 11. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427230 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 09:25:11 +0000 mediagirl 2427230@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WOH and I am DONE at the end of the day. After work, then dinner, then bedtime, I am pooped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427121 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:25:29 +0000 lioneyes 2427121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually have an iced coffee in the afternoon, and prep most of dinner then. that way once DS is in bed, I can clean up his playroom, start dinner, and then relax on the couch- i'm tired (would be too tired to go out unless i had to) but awake enough to hang with DH for a few hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2427118 Tue, 19 Jan 2016 08:21:59 +0000 ValentineMommy 2427118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I WOH 2 days a week, and WAH 2 days a week...and I'm exhausted all of them lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2426883 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 22:53:24 +0000 Mrs.KMM 2426883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a SAHM and, unless I'm sick, I'm usually okay. I tend to relax on the couch a bit and finish up some dishes / tidying the house once DD is in bed and then read for a bit before going to bed myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2426841 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:48:23 +0000 hellobeeboston 2426841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exhausted. Putting the kids to bed makes me SO tired, I often fall aslee then too. Forget getting anything done after that. I just started back to work 2 weeks ago and find I can only make it through the evening if I have a cappuccino at 3ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2426791 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:07:25 +0000 mrsrain 2426791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lately, exhausted. I am pregnant and stay home with my toddler. It's s lot of energy to expend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2426659 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 19:33:21 +0000 NovBaby1112 2426659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Exhausted. After both kids are sleep by 7, I force myself to relax and watch some tv, have some wine, and then get stuff ready for next day and go to bed by 9:30! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2426637 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 19:23:04 +0000 brownepiano 2426637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My back is killing me by 7:00! I should be sitting on a piano bench since it is my only time to practice undisturbed but tonight I'm not. Pregnancy + toddler is tough! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2426636 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 19:22:49 +0000 Foodnerd81 2426636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So freaking tired. Like totally absolutely spent and burnt out. But I'm staying home with a 2 year old and 1 month old so I think that's somewhat expected with a newborn. And DH has been working crappy hours so I end up doing bedtime alone some of the days. </p> <p>At least I can have a glass of wine now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2426625 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 19:08:46 +0000 mrsjazz 2426625@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tired. And DH is a teacher so he's standing all day. It's why we order takeout so often! And the weekends aren't restful because we're trying to catch up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-exhausted-are-you-at-the-end-of-the-day#post-2426622 Mon, 18 Jan 2016 19:02:00 +0000 Bao 2426622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you stay at home or work, how tired are you at the end of the day from parenting or working and parenting? What about your SO? </p> <p>I stay home and usually I'm ok by the time the girls are in bed to relax and do my own thing, watch TV...whatever as long as it's low key. This past week I've been super tired and not in the mood to do anything but sleep. DH had to work all day today but he said he was good with hanging out with them and putting them to bed if I wanted to relax..so that's exactly what I'm doing! I have been sick, so I'm sure that's contributing. </p>
