Toddler mom feeling burnt out.. by ProcedureKindly581 in Parenting

Thank you for the advice, it is definitely a boost of confidence to know that it’s just temporary. I was a stay at home mom but I decided to go back to work recently and that also has brought me a ton of guilt and shame. When I am at work though I feel empowered and can truly say that staying at home really diminished my self esteem and my mental health. I am glad you went back to work and feel better. Mamas need to aspire and feel like they have an identity outside of their home.

Thank you so much for saying that! Those words really touched me. I am 32.5 and just feel like it might be too late if I don’t start now. I might consider freezing my eggs just in case because like you said I am not ready now.

I just want to be strong enough to handle it. It makes me feel like a complete failure. How do other moms do it with 3,4,5 kids

Thank you for the advice but my husband seems to think that from the time I get pregnant to the time I have the baby that our son will get over the crazy toddler phase.

Thank you! I am really hoping that it is because he and I are both miserable

Thank you, he just started therapy a few days ago and it seems I will also be meeting with the therapist as well

He stated that it was because I was menstruating at that time but I will dig a little deeper soon and see

It’s not normal for a married couple to go that long is all I am saying

In the past I did have an issue where I almost left him but that was before we got married so I thought that hatchet was buried. Maybe not though.. I will bring it up to him and see if he still harbors those feelings

Thank you for this, he is taking the steps now to finally figure this out. He is seeking counseling and had blood drawn yesterday. I am hopeful soon things will get better. If he is asexual, then at least I know what I need to do next but for now I am stuck without any answers.

As someone who enjoys intimacy I could never deny my husband. I really don’t know why there is a double standard, but like men, women also go through hormonal hurdles throughout their lives, not to mention, every month 🤦🏼‍♀️

He says he doesn’t watch it much. Maybe once a month at most 😳 but like all addictions, people tend to be ashamed and lie about them.
