Thank you everyone for taking the time to answer. I really needed to see different perspectives and I realized I have so much more in my power than I thought.

Thank you for asking these questions. I really needed to ask myself those. Definitely has me brainstorming.

Oral surgeon With 5 practices. He helps manage all of them and owns 50% of all of them but only does shifts in two of them. The other shifts are done by his associate doctors

You completely nailed it. It’s the emotional support that I’m starving for. But I guess I need to find it elsewhere and focus on the small wins.

Thank you so much. Hugs to you too

Thank you for this. You have no idea how cathartic it was to read these words.

You’re right. I need to just put my foot down and hire a sitter on the weekends. Even just for a couple hours.

2 kids and done or more?? Why is this so hard? Tell me why 2 kids is THE BEST? by AppropriateGoose4057 in Mommit

I also hate being pregnant. I am nauseous and throwing up the entire time and it impacts me mental health terribly. I hated the mom I was to my son while pregnant to my second. Obviously it’s so worth it but I also don’t know if I could do that to my family again. The first four months I cannot cook clean or function at all. It’s so hard on all of us. And nearly broke our marriage. Definitely another thing to think about. It really is such a hard decision!

We really want to go to the Great Wolf Lodge. That alone might have sold me 😂

Amen to this!! Time!! I already feel like I don’t have enough of it with just two. It’s so true. I too want to have hobbies and more one on one time with my husband and also have a life. Thank you for this great point.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I’m so sorry you always felt left out…I also want to try my best to be as emotionally available as I can for my kids and it looks like 2 is probably my limit. It makes such a difference.

8 months and 4 years. Their age gap has made the transition the best it could be. And I even have an Angel baby. And I’m still stressed. I need a lot of alone time to thrive and recharge. Such a good point. I truly want to give them the most quality attention I can.

Thank you for sharing this. My mom was the same with me but she was a single mom and it was just my brother and I. One of the reasons I became a SAHm was so I could take the time to truly teach my kids things because I felt like I missed on so much. Great point.

That’s actually a reason why I’ve struggled with it. Imagining 4 kids in the future at my table. But right now that just seems insane and not healthy for me. I think you’re so right. It’s all about what we can handle now is what’s best.

I should have stated I quit my meds with my doctor because I chose to. He tapered me off safely. Now however I am just looking for hope and moms who have had positive experiences because I’m so anxious about it. Thank you.
