I WANT TO GO OUT.
I want out of this house. I want some time to myself. I want a haircut. I want a drink. I want a movie, or a class, or SOMETHING that is not in this house.
I love my children, even though there is that crazy girl running around thinking you don't love your kids if you want time for yourself, but I just need a break.
DH gets to leave all the damn time. He gets to go to work and be appreciated, he gets to play hockey usually 4 times a week, he's out at the mall with his buddy. He gets to get up in the morning and get dressed for work and get in the car and drive and listen to the radio. I wear the same sweats for days to save on laundry and my hair is in a pony tail and headband every single day. I don't even really remember how to do it anymore.
ARGH. I'm just so frustrated. So, so frustrated.
/rant. For now.
Re: IHO crazy "you shouldn't want to go out" girl (rant)
Thank you. I know in the scheme of things my problems are very minor.
SAHM to 4 kiddos... K (5/05), N (4/09), C (11/10) and Baby A 1/13/14
I'd come babysit for you if I could.
I take that back. I'd find you a babysitter and take you out.
Unfortunately, it's not as much time by myself that I need. It's time with someone other than myself. Like an adult. lol I used to have friends. Not sure what happened with that.
I understand this whole post and this.
You know just what a girl needs.
no, I haven't even seen her recently, she's just the type that thinks that all moms should want is to be with their kids 24/7 and should never need a break. I've had a few exchanges with her before, because she's super judgey about it.
Hmm, I don't guess I have seen her or her post.
Hair in a pony? Check
Same sweats as yesterday? Check
No make up? Check
No other adults around to talk to/hang out with? Check
I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!
That doesn't mean your feelings are invalid.
Can you have a chat with my DH? lol
Whoa. Who said you shouldn't want to go out? I need to punch her in her nonexistent nuts. She's an idiot, apparently.
I *DO* go out. To work. Every day. But that is NOT AT ALL the same as going OUT and doing something for ME. And going to the grocery store on Sunday night does not effing count as ME time.
Thank you! and AMEN! lol
I'll send my DH over there to babysit for you. He thinks this parenting thing will be so easy. I am a nervous wreck(because I know how it is to take care of babies) all he has ever done is hold a baby for an hour.
Unfortunately, my baby won't do you any favors. He's pretty much an angel, and cute as hell. He's not hard to take care of at all. I have very little to complain about.
It's mostly being cooped up. It's winter, so it's rainy and cold. Anything that wouldn't be outside in the rain costs money, that we don't have.
