Nothing and nobody is good...I have had those days. Nothing and nobody is good enough and it all sucks. Then I go to bed and sometimes that helps. So the fact that you can't sleep good is hard. <br />Clean house business is hard. When Bryan goes out of town I feel happier knowing my toilet will stay clean for at least a couple of days. Then the kids are hard, I am lonely, and I never eat very well when he's gone so I am so happy when he is home. And I decide (again) that it is worth having a dirty toilet for the other advantages. Then I forget and it starts all over again. <br />Sometimes I find a good escape in a good book.Maeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05583184480974510833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948038108470110537.post-26427632849827879392010-04-06T17:36:18.938-07:002010-04-06T17:36:18.938-07:00I hope I'm not butting in I know you really do...I hope I'm not butting in I know you really don't know me but I have been where you are and have felt what you are feeling. What I did to get my husband to REALLY and truly understand how I felt was to go on strike it is as simple as that. Of course you take care of your children and yourself but when it comes to him you just tell him nope sorry not my problem you are a grown up too and you can help me take care of this house and your laundry and your child and the children we have together. I had to get that drastic with my hubby a few years ago when I was working swing shift and coming home late to a messy house and no dinner it took awhile and I had to stick to my guns but it worked like a charm. Good luck with everything.Amanda Impetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033075741839793122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948038108470110537.post-62240184329261173072010-04-01T21:24:45.704-07:002010-04-01T21:24:45.704-07:00be honest and open with your hubby...tell him what...be honest and open with your hubby...tell him what you are feeling...you might feel exposed and vulnerable but he will not change and help more like you might want until he knows how you feel. I feel like this all the time and now that i have aaron doing things more i feel guilty that I am not the one doing it. but you know after being a stay at home mom for 7 years I deserve to not be the maid and cook and care giver all the time. You are te stay at home mom and you deserve a break and unfortunately you will have to fight for it. Good luck and you can complain to me anytime.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05966361375186719638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948038108470110537.post-19434815594965030632010-02-28T19:03:01.142-08:002010-02-28T19:03:01.142-08:00I'm so sorry you're feeling down right now...I'm so sorry you're feeling down right now :(<br />I can understand...I am THE ONLY person who picks up after everyone, does the dishes, cleans the bathroom, does 98% of the laundry, most of the cooking (although these days I haven't been up to it, so we go out). It sucks some times!<br />I guess that's just part of being a stay at home mom...that's what my mom would say w/smiles :)<br /><br />You do have a lot going on taking care of Rya and you're doing a great job! <br />Hang in there. It'll get better soon, I hope! And if not, then you can always blame the pg horomones...I am LIVING that one up!!!<br /><br />Love,<br />NaeRenee' Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04097092831741276253noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5948038108470110537.post-26539091788337405922010-02-28T14:50:16.730-08:002010-02-28T14:50:16.730-08:00Ok here is what you do.

My husband has to take care of the kids every oter night. That means I get to sit after dinner and do nothing every other night. As for sleep good luck. Maybe have John get up on sundays with Rya and you get up on saturdays. That way you get one nights rest. I would say come visit me but I live kinda far from you. I would say I would come visit you but again I live kinda far. If we ever do a playdate down that way I will let you know. That way you can maybe get out with some other mommies. It helps alot. Maybe look for a playgroup in your area.Beckstrom7https://www.blogger.com/profile/16672806852114582443noreply@blogger.com
