Poll: Current SAH Frustration?

Stacyc625 · December 2011

Anything at all- that is bothering you or frustrating you currently?

Yes a few things! I just wish Dh realized that I need a break every once in awhile away from c!

Tried to go to the gym this week and before I was there for 10 min I get a call to come home-why you ask? " it's really hard to Make dinner pick the dog up fom daycare and make sure he's not crying/hungry" ... Ya think?! It's amazing that I can do it everyday!!!!!!

We are all sick this week. Need sleep...

DD#3 being 2 1/2yo and still not sleeping through the night!!

Also I would love to somehow find a way to work a few night shifts or at least a few day shifts P/T to bring in some extra money around the holidays but the babysitter issue and DH's work schedule it just has not worked out yet.

The impending weather:( I really hate bundling up to go outside. I suppose I should be happy since it's still nice enough to go outside. Below zero weather and cabin fever can just forget to arrive this year. I just love throwing shorts on and being out there in the early morning.

DH forgetting that I do still have stuff in the house that needs to be done. Laundry, payroll, dishes, decorating, making meals, etc. I'm happy to help with the construction but the house doesn't run itself.

DS waking up at 5:30 everyday. Without fail.

DH is helpful with DD, but he is never the one in charge! I always feel like I have to be on my A-game and he is just back up. For instance, if I want to take a shower on the weekend, I would tell him, "please listen for DD". He doesn't feel the need to do the same because I am always in charge.

HAHA this sounds exactly like my house. H will just go outside without even thinking twice who is going to watch LO since I'm there.

Lennon is cutting molars and they are from Satan I am convinced.

Also Dh and I have done too good a job of making a nice, comfortable home for our kids. Dd refuses to work on ACT prep she swears she is but she's not. So I'm guessing she's planning on living here forever....ugh.

I'm just so tired of having no break during the day. Like a break where no one is awake. Quiet time does not count. It's just not the same. I'm really not happy that our school district does not have all day kindergarten. I NEVER thought I would say that, but lately I've been thinking about how nice it would be to have at least one of my kids in school all day because my house is just mass chaos all the time now that the weather is crappy.

Finances! We paid off all our debt (except the house) before P was born so I could stay home. With one income, holidays coming, etc. I am just stressed about keeping a nice cushion and not using credit cards at all!

I feel like I can never get caught up with the house cleaning. I would like my WHOLE house to be clean at once, instead of only one area here and there.

Stacyc625 · December 2011

My biggest frustration- is lately- from 5am until 7pm- they are on just such opposite schedules it SUCKS!-

Someone or BOTH is up the entire day. I cannot get them on a remotely CLOSE schedule. I can count on 2hands how many times I could get them both to nap at the same time in 14 months. It sucks-

Chase has been getting up soooo early due to teething- he is ready for a nap by 830am- gisele rests/naps around 1pm. Chase will often fight a second nap but he is BALLS tired and cranky- come 7pm- they are both cranky and tired and I am fried.

Something HAS to give. Because 14hr days with not a SECOND to catch my breath REALLY is tough.

lilone_06 · December 2011

I am sick of being the one in charge and want a day off. I hate to 'keep score' but it's hard not to notice that I've been in duty for 20 straight days, 12 of which I was sick, with four four-hour or less breaks, and DH has been home from his trip for a week, had four sick days upon returning (sleep ins and the rest), went out for drinks after work last night, and is now sleeping in for Sat morning. When the H is my turn?!?... ETA: After reading this I am even more ticked off. I've been holding my tongue and making nice so far but this situation is about to blow wide open, I can feel it coming

I never sleep trained my kids and now I'm paying dearly for it.

#1- The WHINING! DD is almost 17 months and some days it seems like it's never-ending. DS is going through a phase where he hates to be put down- even if he can still see me! Combine the two and it drives.me.crazy. Sometimes they're both whining at the same time. Ahhhh...

#2- The fact that DH does not feel comfortable being at the house alone with both of them. I think it's mostly because I'm BF'ing DS and he won't really take a bottle. DH has anxiety that in the 20 minutes it takes me to run somewhere DS will flip out due to hunger. Ugh. So, this means that essentially, I never get a break. Never.

Combine both of the above and it's no wonder I'm mentally & physically exhausted lately. I feel like I'm in a rut. Crying

kas80 · December 2011

Two things:

1) Our snugabunny swing aka the only place my LO naps broke (motor burned out) three days ago. A nap has not been taken in this house since. I'm about to go insane.

2) My LO is on a bottle strike so I can't ever leave her for more than an hour at a time. I would really like an afternoon to myself.
