Parenting

I don't think I can do this anymore.

I am so burnt out on work.  I'm tired of the stress and worrying.  I hate that there is never a stopping point and there is ALWAYS more that I need to do/could do.  I feel guilty every day when I leave work because I feel like I should do more before I go.  Then I feel guilty because I lose out on time with DD due to work.  I am physically at work 9-10 hours a day.  Often bringing stuff home (I teach).  I am exhausted physically and mentally.  Not to mention my lunch is a joke.  We eat with the kids and I might get 10 minutes to shove food down.  Forget bringing something you need to microwave-there isn't enough time!

This sounds terrible but I am burnt out on my family.  I love DD and she is such a blessing.  The whole being 2 and throwing fits at EVERYTHING is on my last nerve.  I'm tired of DH not doing much.  He helps a lot sometimes but it is frustrating when I come home from work and he has left me the dishes/cleaning/etc.  He only works 6 hours or so a day and he has 2 1/2 hours a day where DD is in daycare and he is home alone.  Then there are all the issues my parents, brother, and other relatives have.  I have so much of my own stress that I am barely hanging on when I have to deal with theirs too.

I'm tired of worrying about my marriage.  I hate second guessing things.  I am tired of worrying about whether or not we should really be trying to have a baby right now.  I am pissed at how broken out my face is from stopping BCP.

I would love to be able to work my damn phone without having to rely on DH.  I have no time to sit and figure it out (got a new one Sunday).

I guess I am just at the end of my rope and I don't know how to fix anything.  I worry all the time and it has finally gotten to me.  Sorry for all the complaining but I needed to get this all out.

  • Sounds like you need a good nights sleep.  That is how I feel when I am tired and need to go to bed.  Hope it gets better.
  • (((hug))) hang in there. sometime a change of venue helps...can you get away this weekend, even out with a girlfriend for dinner?

  • I am sorry you are feeling so terrible.  Days like this happen to many of us.  A glass of wine, a good nights sleep, and a real deep conversation with DH is in order.  {{hugs}}
  • I'm not sure what to tell you so I'll give you a big (((HUG))). Hope things get better soon.

  • when I get like this I seriously just have to pray...I say Lord I can't friggin take this anymore so You deal with it, just take the stress off my shoulders....and I promise things always eventually look up:) 

     Sometimes I also feel better when I hear someone elses stress then I feel better about handling my own...

    Here's mine: my 16 month old had surgery today, got a fever as a result, stopped breathing during surgery cause he threw up but luckily got a breathing tube & came through, his penis looked swollen, dr said take off his bandage did this all the while he screamed & yanked on it (his stitches). My 4 year old told me he didn't miss me & dh thinks I'm over reacting cause now my ds has a fever.....life.  God help us!
