In the opposite order and for that reason. Hours spent at work and never ending to-do list prevents me from stressing too much about TTC. (Just hopefully not interfering with TTC? :/) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now/page/2#post-1632517 Tue, 13 May 2014 20:20:04 +0000 dc yoga bee 1632517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Um, life. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now/page/2#post-1632292 Tue, 13 May 2014 18:16:49 +0000 simplyfelicity 1632292@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@KelLeeLeee: Same here! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now/page/2#post-1632252 Tue, 13 May 2014 17:36:20 +0000 MrsKRB 1632252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TTC, only because I really don't have any other stressors in my life.

It was supposed to close a week and a half ago and things just keep coming up. I just want it to be over!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1632072 Tue, 13 May 2014 15:51:10 +0000 StbHisMrs 1632072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted your child's needs ~ My oldest has some major anger issues going on, and his bio Dad has been non-existent for the past 3.5 years and that is wrecking havoc on him :( I put him counseling last month.</p> <p>and </p> <p>Family Issues ~ The first one is my Husband deploying for a year, he's already "active" and away from home but won't leave until June. It's going to be so hard, our 2 year old is missing him something fierce.</p> <p>Second my parents have their property listed, my Dad is working out of state so everything is falling on my Mom and I don't think she can handle much more stress. They received an offer on it and they've been countering back and forth a few times. To top that off the home they made a contingent offer on (that's been on the market for over a year) received a cash offer the same day the offer on their home came up. She's so worried they're going to lose their dream home because the broker representing the buyers is a total jack @ss that only deals with city/flipping situations, not my parents case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1631888 Tue, 13 May 2014 14:39:41 +0000 Mrs. Pen 1631888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>money and work </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1631643 Tue, 13 May 2014 13:23:31 +0000 Oliviapope 1631643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>School. But I will be done (for the semester) in 24 hours!</p> <p>Then only work and DH will stress me out. I wish I knew how easy life was in undergrad and appreciated it then!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1631579 Tue, 13 May 2014 13:03:38 +0000 googly-eyes 1631579@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My health and LO's. mostly hers. I get stressed when she's sick and she's been sick the majority of the past couple months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1631357 Tue, 13 May 2014 12:06:59 +0000 Torchwood 1631357@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put someone else's health, since it's really LO that's got the issues, but since I'm the one who is pregnant maybe it's my health? Either way, don't have a lot of stress in my life normally, so LO's issues are the only big problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1631278 Tue, 13 May 2014 11:48:16 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 1631278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted housing, but really meant moving: selling our furniture, packing everything else up, dealing with moving companies, finding a new place to live in an area that is 3 times more expensive....maybe should have voted money as well. And trying not to let this affect the kids too much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1631253 Tue, 13 May 2014 11:42:27 +0000 IRunForFun 1631253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted money, looking for a job, and school, which are all related. The school and looking for a job are actually DH. He's just finishing his first year of grad school and his schedule has been really stressful since he's SO busy. He's also looking for a part-time gig for extra income for the summer with little luck. He was a TA during the year and will be doing unpaid research in the lab this summer...but we need money since I'm the primary bread winner and I'm hardly winning any bread!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1631206 Tue, 13 May 2014 11:27:18 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1631206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted "LO's needs". Since she had the stomach flu during Easter, our sleep routine has gone out the door. She sleeps in bed with us and she's a huge bed hog, it's hard to get good sleep. We're also transitioning to the terrible-two's and warmer weather -- meaning a demanding toddler that always wants to be outside (especially since the sun is out until late evening). I'm really, REALLY scared about summer when daycare is closed and she's home with us. She's gotten used to the routine at daycare where she sleeps outside to nap using their ginormous pram. She doesn't have that at home and nap time is always a big fat failure during the weekends (doesn't help her night time routine either).</p> <p>I'm also worried about all the changes that'll happen come August. I'm going back to school which means longer daycare hours and a completely different routine for the whole family. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1631113 Tue, 13 May 2014 10:59:20 +0000 blackbird 1631113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I"m voting 'other". It's time management. I am so crunched for time, it stresses me out that there aren't enough hours in the day. I work, work out, then I'm running at like, 100 mph all evening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630907 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:55:14 +0000 MrsTal 1630907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted money and TTC, which are related for me. We just got the go ahead from our doctor to skip our next two IUI's in favor of IVF and we have no idea how we are going to pay for it. We could save for a couple years and then do it but we really want to have a baby soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630902 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:54:11 +0000 mrs. wagon 1630902@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: thanks!! I know it will all be worth it, but this week has been so awful. It's bad enough trying to operate without a kitchen with two small kids.. but then cover the limited living area we've been dealing with in plaster dust...!! I feel like it can't get any worse... but I shouldn't say that ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630900 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:53:05 +0000 sandy 1630900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs. wagon: that sounds awful!!! Hopefully you get your beautiful dream kitchen soon and it will all be worth it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630896 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:51:13 +0000 sandy 1630896@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted for my top three </p> <p>Money - is there ever enough being saved</p> <p>Housing - our tenant just gave notice and we have to find a new tenant. I always want to find the best person who will stay long term. It's just stressful doing all the paperwork and weeding through applications and fielding inquiries</p> <p>"Work" - I'm a SAHM but I'm keeping my license active and this year I have to fulfill all my CLE requirements, some of which have to be "live" credits. It's the first time I'm paying for the classes out of pocket (usually your employer will pay) and I'll have to find a sitter for the days when I have to attend an in person class. Not looking forward to sitting through these classes as a nauseous pregnant lady </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630881 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:43:19 +0000 mrs. wagon 1630881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Most definitely home improvement, but also work. Work is busy, but the biggest stressor for me at the moment is that I can't even go home to my oasis/escape. Our kitchen was totally gutted so we've moved everything into the living room, and we're living with no sink (just the tiny bathroom sink) and a microwave.. that's it. Then yesterday they smoothed out the plastered walls and didn't put the tarps back up for some reason... so we came home to a first floor completely covered in a thick layer of plaster dust. EVERYTHING. We spent the entire night cleaning and everything is still coated (plaster dust turns into a paste and you just end up moving it around!). We have all of our kitchen stuff in boxes that I had left open so I could rummage through while we lived with half a kitchen (no oven before the gutting) and now no kitchen, and now everything in those boxes is covered in plaster dust. And of course no dishwasher to wash things en masse... and just a tiny bathroom sink that doesn't even fit a regular sized bowl in it. I'm ready to just throw everything outside and wait for the next rainstorm.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630878 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:42:25 +0000 alohaorchid 1630878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would say work but it doesn't really need to be that way - I'm a contractor and I'm waiting to see what will happen with my contract. I'm also a little stressed with family issues, but there's nothing out of the norm there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630877 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:40:25 +0000 littlek 1630877@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Childcare.

Money ALWAYS stresses me out no matter what. My health issues (mostly surrounding TTC - PCOS, Thyroid, etc) are stressing me out. I also chose TTC because we are in the middle of IVF which is stressful.! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630859 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:31:26 +0000 Cherrybee 1630859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I picked three. </p> <p>Work - I can't decide whether to take a promotion and I'm worrying myself sick about it. </p> <p>LO's health problems - Waiting on a ped referral for her "asthma" that I don't really think is asthma. </p> <p>Relationship - We need to work on the intimacy side of our relationship and I just don't want to..... :meh: I'm too tired!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630856 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:30:36 +0000 littlebug 1630856@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Moving. Putting our house on the market. Our realtor just told us that our house isn't getting a lot of hits on the coming soon website. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630838 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:27:00 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1630838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>TTC, money, my health and my sons needs are what I put. The TTC and health stuff is exacerbated by the fact that we don't have money for the cost of appointments or treatments we might need to pay for out of pocket if I can't get pregnant even after weaning. My sons needs is actually less about the one session of nursing he does and more the sensory issues he may have. I constantly worry about making sure he is getting what he needs for a good future. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630836 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:26:38 +0000 Lindsay05 1630836@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My health mostly. I need better coping strategies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630832 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:25:40 +0000 kjpugs 1630832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Money, Child Care, Relationship. Besides money my biggest stress is trying to watch LO in the AM to let DH sleep in, so I try to juggle working, watching her, and letting him sleep (after he gets home from work at 1am.) I wish we could just do FT daycare but then he'd never see her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-biggest-stressor-right-now#post-1630820 Tue, 13 May 2014 09:21:29 +0000 snowjewelz 1630820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I voted money. </p> <p>We've always planned on fixing or replacing our roof this month or next month, but my dog had unexpected surgery and we just spent a crap load of money at the vet :sad: </p> <p>DH is starting his doctorate degree in July and we just started paying tuition. He also went from 1 full time job to 2 part-time and his pay is def decreased. </p> <p>And baby is coming in Dec :shocked: </p>
