Had a rough night- need a pep talk

daisyterp

DD had serious sleep issues last night.

She's been totally off since we went away w/ the IL's and had to wake her up 2 mornings in a row @ 4:45 am. 

Dh has been working a ton, which is good and bad- good because he is in banking and it's reassuring for him to have work but bad because I begin to feel like a single parent sometime and we are doing all this stuff to our house, etc. 

Last night I kinda lost my sh!t on him- during the whole sleep debacle.  I want him to go to her when she cries and try to soothe her back down w/o bringing her to me to nurse- so we can attempt to get her STTN again. 

I really should realize how lucky I am- my DH works hard so I can SAHM w/ DD, he vacuums, he helps w/ lots of chores around the house, he does some grocery shopping and cooks dinner sometimes... really why was I such a huge b!tch to him? He's even helped w/ diaper laundry!

  Oh and it's not PMS. 

Tell me I am silly.

first off, cute siggy pic!  love it

 ok, I do the same thing sometimes with my DH.  He is amazing and works hard ( I still work unfortunatley, can't afford not to) and he is an amazing father, and I lose my cool on him too.  Your not silly   I think we have all been there.  I hope your DD gets back to STTN, good luck!

You're not alone.  I have yelled at DH, because my sleep is just as valuable.  We are very lucky to be SAHMs, but sometimes, especially when I'm remodeling a room & the only one at parent teacher conferences, I feel like a single parent.  It's especially hard when you feel like the only parent because they are at work, and you just want them to help with parenting, even in the middle of the night.

(((hugs)))

You're human.  You're allowed to be stressed out and get biitchy.  Remember, he's just as lucky to have you willing to SAH and raise your DD.

I'm sorry.  At least with (kidless) me, it seems like I can

be a huge *** just in the moment, not because I 

actually think those things, but just because I'm tired/

worried/cranky/achy/cold/stressed/whatever.  I'd imagine

that adding a kid to the mix might count as stress too...

 

I've found that a hug, an apology, and a cookie work

wonders for getting "I didn't mean that" across to him

It happens to the best of us, daisy.  Don't let it get you down.  I'm sure he'll be understanding if you offer up an apology paired with a calm discussion of the situation.
