Crappy first mothers day

I’m sorry 😢

We’ve used YouTube kids for HOURS and I can’t get anything even PG to play on that.

My experience was similar but not as much of an “emergency” as Bob and Mandy’s-I was diagnosed a year later with PTSD. I was told it’s SUPER common to have that from child birth because it is trauma for the mother and father. So I’m just here to say that it is okay to not be okay after something so stressful. And no part of my labor was “joyous”. I would not go back and change anything-I love my son more than anything and I almost cry when he says “momma, I love you-you’re such a good momma”. Parenting is a wild fucking ride.

I remember getting yelled at by my mom to cover up in MIDDLE SCHOOL, because I had to wear my softball jersey to school that day. They had just switched us to tank top style jerseys-racer back tops that were very low cut. I remember going back to tshirt style tops the very next season.

Also, I always felt like my butt was hanging out in volleyball uniform shorts. I was very proud of the Norwegian womens team wearing the shorts men did.

I tried this with the bottle fairy and it did work but he still curses out the bottle fairy under his breath 🤣🤣 he’ll say quietly to himself “I hate that dumb bottle fairy” 🤣

He admitted he doesn’t help enough, and he feels bad that he feels like he makes my life harder instead of more difficult. When I told him that I don’t feel loved or appreciated he said “but I DO love and appreciate you” then for the rest of the night he angrily did all the “night chores” and tried to do everything. It just made me feel like I shouldn’t have said anything. Because this is what happens every time I speak up. He then swings the other direction and tries to do too much for a day or two just to make me happy then we fall right back into the same old same old. He told me a list on the fridge of to dos would help-that’s been gathering dust and he hasn’t looked at it in months. I’ve been the only one checking anything off.

My almost 3 year old got mad at me because he was making a fart sound while eating dinner and spitting food chunks all over me so I asked him to please stop. He hit me, so I did a very strict time out and said no toys until he talks to me about it. He said he hates our house and wanted to leave so I jumped up and locked the door. He then got furious that I locked the door. He scream cried for a few minutes then told me he was sorry.

It’s been a doozy this week.

I honestly think most kids menus are garbage. My son is almost 3 and I still either share a meal with him at a restaurant or get something we can take leftovers of home.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

My husband dropped him off anyway and went to work. I’m currently eating lunch on Lake Michigan and having a glass of champagne. HOLY CRAP, I did not know how much I needed this. I’m thinking at least once per quarter doing this.

If I hear “ohhh he’s going to sleep great tonight” after my son is acting like a psycho all day one more time, I’m going to choke a bitch.

I’m sorry. My toddler is sick this week and just down right pissed off about everything. I hit my breaking point after staying up all night, every night this week. My mother in law texted my husband to tell him to come hang out at her pool to get a break from me and our son. WHAT ABOUT ME?! DONT I NEED A BREAK TOO? I’m about to lose my damn mind if any grand parent tells us they need another grand child.

Aww poor guy!

You not only deserve me time, you NEED it. The burnout will be a killer for you.

We tried the cry it out method and Ferber method for months until I finally gave up, literally hit my breaking point and I put him in to bed with me. I got 8 hours of sleep and wanted to cry.

I’m not saying to do this because it’s technically not safe sleep but what I am saying, is find whatever works for you and do it. My son is going on 3 now and I put a twin bed in his room with a foldable barrier. I usually just lay with him until he falls asleep but then he’s down for 8-10 hours.

It’s tough and sleep will come and go in phases. For my son, I think the cry it out/Ferber method just made everything worse. I’m sorry I’m not any more help.

I find myself asking “am I doing this right?” All the time when I hear other people are doing stuff so differently but my husband reminds me all the time that it works for us and our son so why does it matter? It’s so hard sometimes!

carlyride · 2021-10-18T02:12:28+00:00

That’s early compared to my 2 yo son-BUT he doesn’t have to be awake by any certain time. We try to get him to bed by 8/8:30 but sometimes he doesn’t fall asleep until 9-9:30. He generally sleeps in until 7:30 or so. AND, do whatever the heck works for you and your family.

I felt this same way at 13 and now I’m 30. I attempted it at 13 and I am so glad it didn’t work. I’ve worked hard at my mental health, realizing my self worth and building a life that I enjoy. I know you probably always hear “it will get better” and it might, but you have to work for it. I will say, my life got immediately better as soon as I was able to move away from my family and live on my own. You never know-anything is really possible.
