He fought his a nap for 3 hours yesterday. I literally tried everything. He finally passed out from sheer exhaustion... for 30 minutes. Gah. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-826121 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 08:12:05 +0000 purrpletulips 826121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I have a 3 year old who will not stop talking - UGH i so very much want quiet</p> <p>Hoping your day improved </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825986 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 05:49:43 +0000 swedishfish 825986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: the S is Sunday. He'll take a week off when the baby comes and then another week off right before I go back to work in September. I can't wait to meet this LO and "cross over"!</p> <p>PS - I hope today is a better day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825949 Mon, 03 Jun 2013 01:00:19 +0000 lemondrop 825949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hear ya, while I love every second I spend with my little guy, and I feel guilty complaining, right now he has a raging case of Mommy-itis that is driving me crazy. I think our slow weaning isn't helping either, he keeps trying to cop a feel.</p> <p>Normally he is happy to play by himself for a little while but right now I am the only toy he wants. I am finishing up my grading period for school, so I'm writing final exams and finishing grades, and he won't leave me alone. </p> <p>My husband was off of work today too and helping some, but he gets distracted by his phone and video games, and forgets that I'm trying to get work done. I was *thisclose* to locking myself in the bathroom with the laptop, but I know no closed door is safe and they (baby, cats, dog, husband) will all keep bugging me wherever I go. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825886 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 23:05:46 +0000 yoursilverlining 825886@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You are not alone. LO was driving me so crazy yesterday I lost my patience and told DH he was on solo duty because I needed to take a drive, away. Haha (I came back 15 minutes later, much more relaxed!). My normally laid back girl has developed social anxiety and while she's fine around strangers, she is clingy as all get out. She won't even happily go to DH; just me. I feel like a human lovey.</p> <p>It also has taken over an hour to put her down for the last several nights and my STTN'er is now fussy and up a few times a night. </p> <p>I hope this is a wonder week and the wonder of it all passes SOON. mama has needed a drink a lot this week!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825876 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:57:48 +0000 googly-eyes 825876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: does your DH get any time off for the baby? Is the s sat or sun? At least during your maternity you'll get a lot of days with him, I hope.. Good luck with everything, you're so close to joining us on the other side! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825873 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 22:54:34 +0000 googly-eyes 825873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: thanks for the support, just needed to vent!</p> <p>@tororojo: how old is your baby now? Hope he can at least get a few days off!</p> <p>@HLK208: sorry for your rough Friday. Is it terrible that I'm happy someone is commiserating though? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825648 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 20:01:31 +0000 HLK208 825648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Shoot, that's rough :( I'm sorry!</p> <p>E screamed ALL of Friday. She was so horribly grumpy and she slept through the night for the first time in 8 months last week...that's over again. Otherwise, it comes and it goes in our house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825611 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 19:41:41 +0000 tororojo 825611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We're growth spurting right now and I have let LO nap on me for several hours each afternoon for 4 days now! It's both nice and draining. Today is the start of DH's summer work schedule, which is reeeeally long hours and we will barely see him while we're awake, blah. Sorry you are stressed and I hope tomorrow is better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825549 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 19:03:36 +0000 swedishfish 825549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I understand the stress of DH having a sucky work schedule. I teach M-F and DH works W-S at night. It gets me really down at times. We will be adding a LO to the mix in three weeks at most. I am overwhelmed. Feel free to vent away! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825481 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 18:05:43 +0000 MaisyMay 825481@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. That sounds like it sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825239 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 14:00:01 +0000 googly-eyes 825239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: @septemberlove: @MamaBehr: @MarieJ: Thanks for the support ladies. I know it's just a phase but this month has just been so overwhelming!! @MamaBehr I don't know how you do it, but you're awesome!!</p> <p>@MarieJ: Dh's work is what it is for us too. It's his regular job but he's on a six month temporary assignment and the scheduling has sucked, but at least as of next month it's a different supervisor... Hope your dh likes his new job and things get better with time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825235 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:52:48 +0000 MarieJ 825235@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry to hear about all of that! I can only imagine how stressful that is combined with the huge stress from grad school. </p> <p>My Dh's schedule sucks this whole month too as he just got a new job. So, everything concerning LO will fall on me. </p> <p>*hugs* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825229 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:45:22 +0000 MamaBehr 825229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>YES! The terrible twos don't exist, it's the Terrible Torturous Threes... My once sweet and adorable daughter has turned into this cranky, angry (very angry), ready to freak out over anything, kid. We have had one MAJOR melt down every single day for the last 10 days. I don't mean, crying, I mean crying so hard she is going to vomit, won't calm down, completely irrational melt down. </p> <p>It doesn't help that I'm pregnant, so I am overreacting. Or, that my 15 month old has discovered the word "no" and now has opinions.... </p> <p>It's been a rough week... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825219 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:28:05 +0000 lomom 825219@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@googly-eyes: I'm sorry you're having a rough day! I hope your LO settles down soon. Hang in there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825217 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:27:50 +0000 LovelyPlum 825217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have not had a horrible day, but I understand grad school stress waay too well. Just wanted to say hang in there, lady. You are a rock star, eve if you don't feel like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lo-is-driving-me-insane#post-825202 Sun, 02 Jun 2013 13:06:08 +0000 googly-eyes 825202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Teething, separation anxiety, sleep regression, whatever.</p> <p>If I have to spend another hour per nap and sleep trying to get her down I am going to lose my mind. </p> <p>That + grad school + dh's crappy schedule for this month is driving me insane!!</p> <p>Anyone else super stressed out and had it today?</p> <p>(No advice, please.) </p>
