I am about to f-ing lose it with DH's schedule. I know it's not his fault he's so busy, I know he would rather be home, but I am about to lose my sh&! between his work schedule, my work schedule, DD, our to-do list, my already filthy house, and we're about to have a second baby. Money is so, so tight, so we can't get a maid or someone to help with the house, we have no family where we are (lots of good friends, but they all have kids/busy lives, too), and I'm serious, I have no control over my emotions. When I was pregnant with DD I do not remember having the serious mood swings I am having. Last night I cried for an hour because I can't do laundry (we live in a historic home, and I actually cannot FIT in the laundry room). Anyways, I am just venting, but if you can commiserate or offer advice, I would appreciate it.
Re: Is your DH/partner/YOU a medical resident?
I'm a FTM so I'm not sure what it's like to be pregnant and run after a LO as well. I do live in an older home though, but I fit in my laundry room, thank goodness! My fiances schedule during this time of year is crazy so I understand you there and my house is never as clean as I'd like it to be. Hang in there, it'll all be over before you know it.
I'm assuming your or your DH is a medical resident? Just think, it'll all pay off sooner than later and you'll look back at this point in your life and just smirk:)
DH is a surgical resident and I am a veterinarian. Between our schedules things are already so crazy I honestly worry about how much time our baby will actually have with either of us. DH's schedule is obviously worse than mine and I know there will be days where he won't even get to see her.
I am dreading having to do all the house work, cooking, and caring for a baby every weeknight without him.
I guess I do not have any words of wisdom or anything obviously. Just wanted to join in the vent with you!> GL
