Anyone else sick of DH not getting it?!?!?

I am over tired, stressed out and sick of having no one to talk to about it!  In general he is the best husband and dad but when it comes to talking to him about being exhausted and telling him about our 2 year old not napping all day and waking up 2 hours early the past few mornings, he just acts like it's not big deal and says "who cares if he doesn't nap, if he doesn't he doesn't" it makes me even more frustrated than I already was...it's like I'm a single parent...then it turns into me thinking how am I going to be able to handle another baby in a few weeks when he doesn't even get why me not sleeping might be a big deal.  I feel alone in my sleep deprivation and parenting stress...

    I had a very similar conversation this morning.  DH worked from home yesterday and went in late today.  He's great with the girls, but he has no idea how hard it is day in and day out.  A day here or there is easy, but it's the EVERY day part that's so hard. 

     When he left this morning he said he'd love to have my life....  I'm whiny because I can't get out of the house with both girls due to the weather, let alone by my self.  I haven't had more than 2 minutes alone in weeks.  I am going crazy, so I feel your pain, I really do.  Good luck.

    This feeling comes in waves for me. My DH never says anything like that, but some days I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm expecting twins in a few months and I worry already about how I'm going to balance it all. I stopped doing my home daycare at the beginning of the year because I felt like I was too tired to function half the time, and now I feel like nap time is my savior, so I totally get how that comment would bother you. You just gotta keep truckin and remember that you can only do what you can do! Good Luck:)
