Tired and discouraged

jennkg3

I have said before I have a 7 month old and a 2 1/2 year old . The baby was up all night. I have a degree and yesterday I was going to go back to school and get a fulfilling good paying job and today I just feel like it's all too much and I'm just so tired. I'm also over the snow, my 2 yo wants to play but my baby just cries. My husband was never much help with the kids so in sure I'm emotional exhausted I just needed to get it out. Thanks for listening.

Take a deep breathe right now all you can do is take it day by day if thats what it takes. It gets better.

I know your sick of the snow but try taking the kids out to play in it. Fresh air usually gets my ds to stop crying when he cries like that.

Remember it gets better

Day by day, one step at a time. You will get there. It gets better.

Get the 2 1/2 year old a sled and if the baby can sit on his own, plop them both in there and drag them through the snow. I used to do that with my little girl on snowy days when we lived in MA and it cheered her right up.

I feel this way frequently.  More tired than discouraged, but still.  It gets better.  Like PP said, one day at a time.  Some days I'm literally just going through the motions but remember those little ones of yours need you to provide for them and be a great role model.

After being nearly done with grad school I decided, as did most of the other job minded people there, that we would have been better off getting the same jobs were targeting now after our undergrad degrees. I used to work (over) a guy with a phd who was making less than the fresh off the boat Indian kids with bachelors and next to no experience.

Maybe it might be better to look around now (move even) and wait until your kids are older to take on all that extra work.

Says a person with two bachelors, almost a masters, and no job.

@gamera3000 at least you can spell.  My cousin is working on her masters and has the worst spelling and grammar.  It kills me!

@tig594 the number of blithering idiots in grad school is staggering. The smartest/hardest working people in my "grad cohort" were a wigger bartender, a country girl who never spoke, and a roller derby girl that loved reality tv. I.e. normal people. The fancy pants ones were stupid and never did any work, but got all the attention.

Shit i got half way through cosmetology school before having to leave because of child care falling through. Now i am potentially facing surgery on my shoulders before i can go back.
