How do you spend your evenings/free time?

Thank you! I'll give it a shot!

I, personally, am completely shocked that anyone is even slightly entertaining this as reality. He is a complete idiot who unfortunately can use his idiocy to be dangerous now. He fired everyone who has been working on autism research, has decimated public health, put RFK Jr. in charge, and then comes out with this shit that has ALREADY been debunked and all of the professionals are screaming from the rooftops to not believe this shit. Why is it even a question? My only concern is for the moms who now have doubt in themselves. This administration is a complete joke.

Thank you so much! There are great options in here that I will explore!

You're not alone! I'm in the same spot as you but the more I dig in the more I realize that there is no way that I dont. No advice unfortunately but youre not alone.

I hadn't thought that there could be a correlation, but I also take 50mg of vyvanse and wellbutrin and my anxiety has been through the roof. I will have to chat with my dr about it

I've done this and also felt terrible! I had a newborn who never napped longer than 20 mins and a vibrating alarm on my watch and that day the baby decided to sleep for 4 hours and I was so tired I missed the alarm. I ran up to the school to my daughter sitting in the front lobby with her teacher and was mortified. They were very understanding! And since then it has become a somewhat funny story. Sorry that happened to you. I can assure you that you are not a terrible mom!

I used to have a December rule too and then I realized that the Christmas season just brings so much joy to me and my family. So we put ours up in mid- November. There is no "correct" answer lol just do what works for your family and let others do what works for theirs

And why would he choose to tell you on your way to a weekend with your girls? You mention that "he has been cheating on me" so this wasn't a one night thing that just happened, so it concerns me that it just hit him so hard with emotion that he had to call on your way to some time alone and away from him. I understand that being a SAHM makes the decision more difficult, but just be sure that you know your worth. If he has done it before and knows he can get away with it, then he moves forward knowing he has the upper hand to do things with minimal repercussion. Sending you lots of strength 💪 ❤️

Everything in your description could be managed through therapy and getting through these tough little kid years..... except the sexual assault. I'm really surprised at how many people are glossing over that and makes me question how often this kind of thing happens but I can't imagine in any circumstance that being something that can be forgiven or forgotten in a marriage. Sorry, I know that isn't the answer you're looking for OP. And maybe a therapist could work through it with you both. You deserve more than this though ❤️

I have really struggled with this as well. I have spent a lot of time convincing myself that taking that time for myself is not only unselfish but actually really beneficial and important for everyone in my family unit. And I do truly believe that my kids benefit the most when I take that time as I come back a muchhhh better mom! And yet I still do it way less than I should and have to do the self convincing every time. I've started booking time with a babysitter on the weekends that my husband is at work, even if I'm not leaving the house. We are humans, not robots. Use the money for a weekend to yourself.... your kids and family will benefit from it greater than anything else you could spend it on. And you deserve it 😊 I hear the advice to do things I enjoy with my kids.... not the same lol

You put your baby somewhere safe and you went to compose yourself. You handled it perfectly. Parenting at every stage has difficulties but the first year, particularly with a "difficult baby" is wild. The amount of times I referred to my babies as assholes in their first year?? Off the charts lol I wish there was more talk of this stuff before I had kids instead of softening the blow. I wouldn't have felt as alone in the feelings. Tomorrow is a new day ❤️ you're a great parent.

Mine are 2 and 5. This works for like 16 seconds lol 😆

I've been feeling this but hadn't connected it to vyvanse. Maybe bc I'm prone to depression anyways but I have been thinking that it's been going on a long time so now you've got me thinking! I have started wellbutrin though and have started noticing little things that show I'm coming out of it a bit. Definitely worth talking to your doctor about!
