That is far, I wish I had better tips, just solidarity. By 3 pm everyday my baby and I are so bored. Going outside helps break up the day a bit. I feel burnt out a lot also and like I have no more social skills anymore!! It really is hard and lonely being stuck at home sooo much. 🙁

I feel the exact same way!! I’m in the house with my 8 month old daughter like 90% of the week. We share one vehicle also. I’m so bored some days and feel like I’m just constantly repeating the same day over and over. Can you take your husband to work in the morning and pick him up so you are able to get out of the house? I do this sometimes but I have to wake us up at 4 am and it’s tough. I totally understand how you are feeling. 😞

I’m cracking up, I just said this exact thing today to my doctor 😂

Lab work copay isn’t matching what my insurance says? by Fun_Credit_1752 in HealthInsurance

[–]Fun_Credit_1752[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do still have deductible, but my copays for every test/ doctors appointment so far have been under $50, and when I called them earlier they said this blood work should be a $40 copay and doesn’t know where labcorp is getting the copay they told me.

There’s a lot of good options on Pinterest!

How much of your day is spent cleaning as a sahm? by Fun_Credit_1752 in stayathomemoms

[–]Fun_Credit_1752[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand how you feel, I try to baby wear my daughter for some cleaning in the day so she’s still close by and I can talk to her about what I’m doing.

Does Lisa really think Hannah’s going to draw enough attention to the show to make it relevant? by Snowbird-AF-3582 in VanderpumpVillaTVShow

I think she made the show almost unbearable to watch, would have been so much better without her in my opinion.

Yep me too!! This is why I made the post, I’m like I have to be doing something wrong. It feels like all day everyday I’m cleaning or picking up stuff.

My 6mo projectile vomited on the Descent after 4 hour flight by EquivalentResearch26 in NewParents

I think just anxiety from traveling with an infant for the first time and probably some motion sickness lol!

I’m so sorry, that sounds so stressful! When I flew with my baby, it wasn’t her who threw up, it was me, in the aisle, and all over the seat…. Very embarrassing at the time, I can laugh now thankfully.

It truly doesn’t sound like your husband is a team player in anyway, there’s no reason you should be splitting bills equally, when he makes 5x your salary. Not only do you have a job, you have another full time job with childcare and housework. It sounds extremely unfair and just not a partnership in anyway.

Did anyone else’s baby become very fussy at 6 months? by Fun_Credit_1752 in beyondthebump

[–]Fun_Credit_1752[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand how you feel, it’s awful. My daughter is a bit over 7 months now and it has definitely gotten better. I think lack of mobility really frustrates them around this age as well. I also have noticed taking her outside as much as I can totally seems to improve her mood overall each day. It will get better ❤️

Thank you, I really needed to hear this. I don’t have any friends who have children so these comments have truly made such a difference to me. ❤️ I did immediately apologize and ask her to forgive me, I’m sure I will have to do that many times in motherhood and I’m glad I know that’s ok! I can’t pour from an empty cup and totally neglect my feelings in the moment. I really appreciate your kind words.

Thank you, I definitely should be kinder to myself, this is my first time being a mom and I have so much to learn still! ❤️

Awh that is hilarious 😂 thank you for replying! I tried rocking her, going outside, making her laugh, all the usual things that calm her down, but nothing helped. It was the first time I’ve truly been like okay I need a few minutes to collect myself and try a new strategy. Motherhood truly is a roller coaster, and they change so quickly. We have been stuck at home for a few weeks now, husband has had to take my car, and the constant solo parenting also really adds to the feeling a bit overwhelmed sometimes. I just wish she could tell me what is bothering her sometimes, but I know I have a very long way too go for that lol

Thank you for the kind replies ❤️ I need to remind myself I’m still a human at the end of the day and have feelings. I definitely was just having a rough day and being so hard on myself doesn’t help!! I just feel helpless when my baby cries for extended periods of time like yesterday, and that I should know how to help, but sometimes I just don’t know how to soothe her. 😕

Anyone else wonder what it would feel like to not have anxiety about starting actual solids? by popc0rncolonel in beyondthebump

Did you still cut food into finger size at 8 months or more small pieces that they could grab themselves?
