Most of the time I end up sobbing. Being a WOHM is so hard emotionally. I know SAGMs work hard too and I'm not discounting that, it's just different. We started pushing Js bd time back 30 min just so I could have more time with him in the evening. There are good and bad days and I certainly hope tomorrow is better. </p> <p>....if not...what's that sound? *cough...*cough...you aren't feeling well! Sick day! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914310 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:14:56 +0000 DillonLion 914310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sorry lady! I rock lo to sleep and leave her there on my chest for awhile in the evenings. I will happily do that as long as she'll let me since it is the only time in the day where we can be together undisturbed and I'm not obsessing about our to do's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914302 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 22:11:12 +0000 birdofafeather 914302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bummer. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914176 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 21:14:05 +0000 Adira 914176@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh, I hear you girlfriend. It totally sucks. Plus Xander is happiest during the day which is when he's at daycare, so I only see tired fussy Xander. The weekend can't come soon enough!! *hug* &lt;3 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914113 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:37:40 +0000 78h2o 914113@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs. I've totally had days like that - it can be so hard to be away from your baby. Sometimes I will go sit in her room and watch her sleep or even read in her rocker just so I can be near her. Ido feel like having time apart from her helps me appreciate every moment I have with her though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914087 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:26:41 +0000 googly-eyes 914087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: I'm sorry. I'm a SAHM but also being in grad school and of course being the one to do most things around the house I feel guilty she has to play alone too often so in a measly way I can relate. On the other hand she isn't terribly social.. And I wonder if the heightened stranger anxiety is bc most of the time she's home with me and some of that time she plays independently and not even parallel w other babies or kids. I say this not to complain about my situation (there are lots of perks of SAH too) but to say that even when you're apart you are the one who provides for her, and who even provides for daycare. Sometimes separation can be good although that amt of time 5 days a week must be hard. You don't need to feel guilty, you're doing a great job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914077 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:23:10 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 914077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Smurfette: tomorrow is a new day ((HUG)) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914067 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:17:56 +0000 Smurfette 914067@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! It doesn't help DH is gone till Friday. So I don't even have him to cheer me up and to cuddle with. </p> <p>@MsLipGloss: I totally want to go pick her up and hold her. @cmomma17: Part of me wants to stop BF but the other part doesn't cause at least we get that special time together. And even more on the weekends. </p> <p>@Sugar.Biscuit: some days are just so hard.<br /> @kiddosc: I think that is what made it so hard today. I was missing her all day and then she was so fussy we couldn't play and laugh. And had to cut it short to start bedtime early. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914055 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:11:10 +0000 blackbird 914055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914040 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:03:01 +0000 kiddosc 914040@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry, I know how you feel though. I don't even see E in the morning because he's still sleeping when I have to leave. I get to see him for an hour and a half on weekdays. And then there are nights like tonight where he's over tired and screams that while time. :sad: I never do anything on weekends because I feel guilty if I don't spend all my time with him... sometimes being a WOHM just sucks! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914038 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 20:02:04 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 914038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:-( I started to tear up when I read this...I'm having issues with having to work after our babies are born. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-914028 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:59:28 +0000 Bao 914028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry momma :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-913987 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:43:43 +0000 rachiecakes 913987@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>so sorry :sad:<br /> DS is 18 months old and I still find it hard to go after work - gym, friends, shopping, etc - because I just miss him so much during the work week.<br /> You're not alone. Sometimes being a working mama totally sucks. :::hugs::: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-913986 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:43:20 +0000 Sapphiresun 913986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Awww...

I spent about 1.5 hours with BabyGloss today before I put her to bed. I feel like I miss so much! I even miss her at night now that she sleeps in her crib. I struggle all the time with wanting to be with her all day every day. I just keep telling myself that it will be worth it when she gets older . . . but, yeah . . . it really sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-913941 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:19:06 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 913941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hugs :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-913922 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 19:06:33 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 913922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( :( :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-913905 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:56:41 +0000 Mrs. Train 913905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-913903 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:56:16 +0000 MrsF 913903@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's a horrible feeling, I'm sorry :( M pretty much learned how to crawl this weekend while I worked 12 hours each day. Bummer. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-913901 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:54:51 +0000 chopsuey 913901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( sorry :( *big hugs* </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/you-know-what-sucks#post-913884 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:39:04 +0000 Smurfette 913884@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>getting to spend an hour with child for the day :sad: </p> <p>This morning, I had to wake up R, changed diaper, got her dressed, nursed and we were out the door. Then we get home from day care tonight, and she is super fussy and tired, despite napping great at school today and even on the 25 min drive home. When I was nursing her after bath, I was crying cause I hate that I got no time with her. </p> <p>We are sleep training so I couldn't even just rock her to sleep. She also choose to roll over for the first time tonight. I looked away from the monitor for 5 seconds and she is on her belly. I missed it. I went in and moved her back on her back, cue crying all over again. Lesson learned, wait till she is asleep next time.</p> <p>Today is just a day where I feel so guilty cause I have to work. I want to be the one with her all day, not her teachers. </p>
