Yeah that annoys the piss out of me, too. I mean, seriously, does the OP not know how to make a list of her own? And secondary, do the commenters really need to list 50+ names? Could they not narrow down a top 5 or something? If I suggest names, I'm usually stopping at 3. Ain't nobody got time for all that :!!
Some of the things I read on here have me worried sick about babies, poor no voice, innocent babes =((
I would hope that if I were one of the mamas with a poor babe, you would pm me and tell me. I hope you realize by now that I would consider what you (or other mamas here) had to say. Just throwing that out there.

Omg melly... Stop you know better! You are a rock star as a mother and I don't even know you
Everyone on here is worried about being a good mother. That's why they're on here. (Not white knighting. I like that quote and believed it, til seeing some posts lately. I think sometimes people just don't know.)
So ditto here - requesting a call out or PM if you see me doing something stupid. Though I know we don't really let anyone off the hook without comment here...!
I'm trying to get out of the house to go celebrate a friends birthday and LO is protesting going to sleep. I had her down once and then she woke up right after I left. I came back in to grab something and she was up and crying again. I (stupidly) volunteered to put her back down. It's been 20 minutes. Ugh!!!! I just want a drink with my friends.
Oh wait...she just passed out. I may get out of here yet.
life gripe/rant about maternity leave so.. I applied for maternity leave back on july 26th, i tried applying back in may when i stopped working but i lacked information to complete it and couldnt get ahold of one of my old employers to provide it. so I finally was able to apply in july, 3 weeks after i gave birth to my son, as it turns out neither of my employers had submitted records of Employment, so i texted them both asking them to do so. before either of them did, my claim had run out because they took so long and i had to resubmit it in October and get an antedate so that it will say I submitted back in july. almost the end of November and my 2nd most recent employer (the one i needed the info from) still has not submitted my roe even after getting a request from the government for one. so i am not getting any money. and of course Christmas is right around rhe corner and i have the same amount of money in my account as my 14 year old brother. who doesnt have to pay for anything. (in fact my mom just bought him $300 worth of clothes) so frustrated. i think im just going to cancel Spending Christmas with anyone besides my LO
@Jessheppell I'm so sorry! I would be beyond frustrated. Are you able to go see your employer in person and make the request? Or perhaps get them on the phone? If someone else's laziness was affecting my Christmas plans, heads would roll.
What did they ever do in the old days when their babies were crabby..... They certainly didn't define leaps to make themselves feel better about it lol Disclaimer; I enjoy reading about the next skills he will acquire though!!!
Wow, we went a long way without griping. I feel bad for resuscitating this thread, but I'm not gonna start a new one. And of course its me, ms cranky pants, who bring this back around again.
But wtf - baby skips his morning nap when I most desperately need him to take a nap so I can get a nap
^^ they gave them whiskey lol no joke. My grandma has told stories...
Word has it that even DH got whiskey. Its a good thing we don't keep it around at home... There have been nights when we've almost been that desperate.

We have had a lot of stuff happen since we've had LO, job issues, we got evicted from our apartment, and are currently living with My cousin, her husband and mother. LO is trying to go into sleep regression, I think. She hasn't slept well at night for the past few weeks. Only long stretches of sleep I get is putting her in bed with me, and those are broken up by getting smacked or kicked every so often. That, coupled by the fact that we are sleeping on a metal futon that's broken and I've got a lovely metal bar that my hip presses into no matter how I lay....I'm literally so close to losing my mind that I feel like I can't even function. Constant fussy/crying LO since she has went thru this sleep regression, not sleeping, and my DH that has so much going on he can't help as much as he would like. I need time away from EVERYONE. Is that awful of me? I just want to be alone for longer than 7 minutes, which is how long it takes LO to cry after I jump in the shower, which then my husband comes in and says 'are you almost done?'
@samantham0305 I think that's normal to need some time to yourself. I'm feeling the same way. I'm a bit overwhelmed right now but hoping once the holidays are over I'll start to feel better about things. You've had a lot going on too. I hope you can find a little bit of time for yourself. 7 minutes isn't asking too much! Anyone else to help you out some? I know I struggle with feeling guilty when im not with my LO but I know it's important to recharge a little too. Parenting is so hard & exhausting. I hope your LO sleeps better soon. Sleep deprivation certainly makes everything feel worse.

Sorry you are going through all that. Hope you see some positive change soon. Yes, its totally normal to need a healthy recharge, and eventually dh is going to have to figure out how to help you get it, despite what he has going on. A mom's health is very important!
