@wonderstruck: I hear you on the last two! Wall me if you need an understanding ear.

I am SO over solo parenting
I feel so lonely at home during the week.
I hate having to miss dinners with friends cause I don't have a sitter.
I am so sick of always being tired
I want R to start sleeping later again.
I feel bad R has had a rough couple weeks (bites, scratches, ear drainage, teething).
I hate the way I look and wish I could lose some weight. -
@irene: I REALLY struggled balancing family and work. It's very common. Big hugs.
-
@sandy: big hugs!

I love a good gripe- makes me feel SO much better after I get it out.
We try to live debt free, which means pretty much everything we own was used. And I am not one of those crafty/stylish/blogger types who turns an old armchair into the centerpiece of the room or picks up the perfect piece at a flea market, so my house pretty much looks like a the Married With Children living room. Blech. And something about being in my mid 30s, I don't know...I want my own crap. I want a car that has a completely intact paint job when I buy it. I HATE feeling so greedy and yuppy, but there it is.On a more serious note, I am really struggling with whether I need to let go of my family ties. There is a lot of dysfunction but I still love them and they love me and the baby...but the dysfunction is leaking into my little family's life more and more and more. I am horribly jealous of families where calls from the jail or psych hospital isn't the norm.
thanks for the vent space!

@sandy: Can you sign up for CLE Center? DH gets this every year and just has the lectures play on the computer while he's doing other stuff. http://www.clecenter.com/

I am 11 weeks pregnant and I feel like garbage and my almost two year old is choosing to test EVERYTHING today.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: "and the cat just threw up" THIS IS THE STORY OF MY LIFE! He just seems to sense when I'm on my last nerve.

Hugs to all and thanks for this thread!
My gallbladder is failing and we're trying to avoid surgery since I'm 27w today. Unfortunately, that means I'm in constant pain, (sometimes severe) and exhausted all the time. Just walking around makes it 10x worse so I pretty much can't do anything. Oh, and trying to avoid all fats while pregnant is super fun when you already have a million other food allergies. I know I shouldn't complain since so many others would give anything to be pregnant, but it has been really hard to give up on what I thought pregnancy would be like and just focus on surviving this time in my life. I'm just so tired of being in pain...and terrified that at some point I won't be able to handle it anymore and I'll need surgery and something bad will happen to my baby because I wasn't strong enough to stand the pain.
-
@Rocker2014: hugs
that's got to be so hard. I'm so sorry you're suffering. 'Giving up on what pregnancy should be like' really hit me. I get it, just in a different way (had Hyperemesis). Hang in there and I promise, the pain, the turmoil, the disappointment will all fade into that sweet baby's beautiful smile. Hugs to everyone on here- seriously. We all have our sh*t, don't we? Hoping for better days today for all of us.

My new team are driving me to distraction. Its like managing five year olds! Plus my house is a tip because Im working, like, proper full time with a decent commute (I WAH three days a week before) and Im not in a good routine yet. Oh and its E's birthday in a week and Im so not prepared for her party!! Eek.
-
@grizz: my drivers license has never been the truth!
I have a miserable cold, I'm sucking at work, my LO is also sick and her behavior is a disaster. Ever single thing is a fight with her...diaper change...WWIII...getting dressed....wrestling match....feeding her....all food on the floor. Screaming for hours in the night. Sigh. And of course my husband is still super sick and unable to help, as it's been for the last 2 years. I actually probably spend more tome taking care of him than LO. Plus, one of his current meds has a lot of dietary restrictions and I'm still struggling to find things he can eat. Praying he can keep his job and that our marriage can survive this.
I know all of this will pass, but I so wish for once someone could take are of me!
Big hugs to everyone else having a rough time.

@gingerbebe: I can do most of my credits online but there is a minimum number of credits where I have to attend a "live" class.
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: I'm sorry, lady! The comment about the cat throwing up totally reminded me of my day Monday... it took me an extra hour to get J ready for daycare because she was fighting me on everything. When I almost had her dressed, she ripped off her diaper and pooped on the floor. Then she and the dog ran through it. Ahhhh!
-
@erinpye: Thanks for the kind words - it helps to know others have been where I am and made it through!
-
@sandy: Ugh, that's terrible, I'm sorry.
@Rocker2014: I had something that I think was a gallbladder attack yesterday and all I can say is OMG you are such a trooper if you have been dealing with this pain all along. Hugs to you.
-
I am super bloated from AF, I feel like a whale. Plus I've been on weight watchers for two months and I have lost ONE pound. Blahhhh.
-
Fantastic!
We're so broke it isn't funny. I don't have any money until payday Friday and we haven't been able to pay any bills this month.
I didn't have any gas in my car so I had to walk to my retail job today. Which isn't a huge deal because I live fairly close, but it's the point that I feel like a crappy mother because we're just not doing well financially.
I interviewed for a job that pay over double what I'm making at my part-time retail gig but I have to wait until the 21st to hear about it. And it's killllllling me. I WANT this job like AAAAH.
I really want this job experience and pay, but it's one hour commute and in the city and I am such a country bumpkin that 2-our/day commute and being in the city where all we hear here in "the sticks" is about murder and gun crime makes me ultra nervous.
I also have another job that pays more than retail gig that involves working with kids with behavioral problems and that has it's own stresses plus the company that I work from is just so inept.
I work so much that I feel like I'm missing time with LO just to be broke and on top of it my house is a disaster. Like not just clutter but like EW GROSS and I'm going nuts over it.
I know next month will be better once we can catch up on things, hopefully, but I feel like I'm drowning.
-
@sandy: I think I'd gained the same amount or maybe even more by 20 weeks. I ended up gaining about 50, with a lot of it being water weight, even though I didn't have pre-eclamsia or anything. If it makes you feel any better, I lost all but 10 lbs or so within the first month or two, and eventually got it all off. Every pregnancy is different. I am sure you are beautiful, though I know the weight gain is uncomfortable.
@Rocker2014: That sounds so miserable, I'm sorry.
-
@Rocker2014: That is rough! Best wishes
-
@Mrs. Jump Rope: cleaning up cat vomit must be that much harder with a baby bump in the way. i'm sorry. wilson threw up in the bed while i was sleeping the other morning, it was very rude!
@grizz: i would so lie if we had to put weight on our driver's license! i wonder why you do, but here we don't? weird.
@scg00387: ummm... WHAT?!?! how did i miss that?!?! OMG! congratulations!! good luck with your move
@erinpye: OMG, that's awful! i hope your eye feels better soon!
@travellingbee: i'm so sorry for you losses
@Rocker2014: i've heard gallbladder pain is terrible, i'm so sorry
@78h2o:
-
@78h2o: I'm really sorry but your bit about them running thorough the poop made me LOL!
@mrs. bird: thanks lady! I'm sly like a (fat) fox.
-
I need this today. It's been a crappy week and feels good to vent!
- the heat is killing me. Normally I like it but it's draining me and I hate feeling gross and sticky all the time.
- DS is sprouting teeth and is SO CRANKY. ALL.DAY.LONG. I need a break.
- DH won't give me a break but yet he gets one (scratch that, has had several lately!!!!!). I'm so irritated it's not even funny (and he wonders why!!). -
Work is insane right now - came back into the office at 7:30 tonight to get some more work done. Hopefully I can get out of here by 10 and actually put a bit of a dent in my emails.
DH's work is also crazy at the moment. So we're both constantly tired and stressed and sometimes that makes it hard to be nice to one another
I have no idea if I want another baby or if I want to be one and done. And even though we wouldn't TTC for at least 15 months from now, I still can't help but think about it constantly. I change my mind multiple times a day and that's not an exaggeration. I HATE not knowing what the plan is!
-
My rant has to do with young male drivers who keep hitting me! Can't their parents teach them to respect others, life, and the rules of the road? Especially when the motor vehicle accident in which I had my daughter with me and now she is going to potentially require lifelong treatment because of it! She was healthy before and now this sentence
I didn't drive like an idiot when I young. I don't get it.
-
Title: How can I get angry when they are so pleased with themselves?
The Scoop: I was on eBay one night and left it open while I quickly ran to the washroom. Apparently my quick wasn't quick enough. When I returned my daughter was sitting there clicking away thinking she had discovered the next best thing to sliced bread. "Look Mom, nobody can outbid you, it's called Buy It Now!" To my horror in the short time it took me to go to the washroom she had racked up a bill of over $400. I paid everyone because it wouldn't be right not to. She even ordered shoes from Australia! (We're in Canada.) I only had myself to blame so remember this one the next time you think you can leave your eBay open and run to the washroom -
@SandraDee: holy crap! How old is your LO?
-
I would like a thread for pet peeves lol
-
@meredithNYC: She was 8 at the time.
-
@SandraDee: thank God I have time to prepare! Mine is only 2, but this scares me, lol.
-
@meredithNYC: I was busy reselling the things for quite a while after lol.
-
@scg00387: yeah, I laughed too...that's all you can do sometimes. well, first I might have cried, but by the time I got to work, I was laughing about it.
And I totally missed the part about you being 8 weeks pregnant! Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
It's tooooooo hooooooooot. Seattle just can't handle 15+ days of 80+ degrees., because no one here has effing a/c
DD is sick. Not horrible, but enough that she can't sleep. (Oh did I mention her room is 82 degrees right now?!)
I need to drop 40lbs. This extra chub is making it feel even hotter.
I'm eating ice cream and beer...again, not helping. -
@gingerbebe: @78h2o: @78h2o: @ZombieBullfrogHoller: @mrs. bird: Thanks so much for your kind words! I try to keep a brave face IRL and not talk about it much so it was so wonderful to get it out and hear caring responses! Seems like we are all going through something, there's nowhere to go but up from here for all of us!
-
@twoofeverything: oh my Lord, YES. Thank goodness we have AC. Come on over to West Seattle if it gets too much:)
-
So many friends are making pregnancy announcements and I'm so jealous
We've been TTC over a year and a half. One of my friends just had her baby, is bf, and has lost all of her baby weight (and then some). I'm growing out of my pants as we speak and not pregnant.
I wish my friends with kids would understand that I want my own baby! So many of them think it will help to spend time with THEIR baby as we're waiting. I know they're trying to be sweet by giving me baby time...but IT JUST MAKES IT SO MUCH WORSE.
If one more person asks me when we're having kids, I may literally b**** slap them.
-
My lo has a double ear infection, this after super obnoxious allergies all week (coughing so hard she threw up). She HATES amoxicillin, I practically have to shower after each dose.
I had to come face to face with my ex husband at my son's pediatrician office, he dropped out of his life 4 years ago. That was hard to do and hard to play nice.
My Husband is coming home for 3 days tomorrow before he deploys for a year, he has a date day planned for Friday and our baby sitter cancelled today and our back up is out of town.
My Mom is stressing so bad about the sale of their home. Can't even talk to her.
My cat likes to chew the nipples off all the babies bottles.
-
I just want to hug all of you!
I hope things improve.
-
I think AF is showing up.
That would be the second chemical pregnancie in four months.
We timed BD so well this month and did it so often I hurt myself (sorry for the tmi).
I don't want to go through this again next month.
I'm scared the endo is back and that's why ttc isn't working.If I still get a bfp this month, all of this complaining was for nothing and I'll feel like an *ss.
-
@twoofeverything: @meganmp: word. Too damn hot. We don't live here for warm weather!
that's got to be so hard. I'm so sorry you're suffering. 'Giving up on what pregnancy should be like' really hit me. I get it, just in a different way (had Hyperemesis). Hang in there and I promise, the pain, the turmoil, the disappointment will all fade into that sweet baby's beautiful smile.
