working mommy vent :(

I hate that my LO is sometimes fussy in the evenings... i only get to see him for maybe 2.5 hours, occasionally 3, before its bedtime... It makes me sad on days, like today, when he cries virtually the whole car ride home from the sitter, then eats and continues to be fussy and ends up goign to bed early... I mean if he is sleepy and acts like he wants to be in bed then i dont wanna keep him up. Do you have days like this? could it be a growth spurt? According to the siitter he napped normally.....

    My LO is the same way during evenings. Maybe put him to bed early so he can wake up earlier in the morning and spend time together in the morning? That's what I did when I worked full time.

    I completely understand.  In no way am I telling you to leave your job but this is the exact reason I left mine.  It is so, so, so, so hard. I felt like I got very little time with my LO and the time I did get was the worst of his

    We went through this in our house.  It was a phase that she grew out of.  It made for a tough couple weeks though.  Honestly, I think she was just getting bored.  We got some new toys and started doing different activities togethe

    I totally get what you mean. My hubby got home from work at 7:45 last night, so from 6:00-7:45, I had a fussy toddler, a whining/barking dog, dinner on the stove, and dishes to do.  That was the majority of my evening with my son, and my hubby only g
