At my wits end ... Long rant

in February 2013 Moms
I'm having a hard time right now for so many reasons and don't know how to solve any of them ! First, I'm having a tough time back at work. It's been 3 mos and not getting easier . I'm gone 12 hrs a day and feel like I have no time with DS let alone for myself or to get anything done . I feel stressed all the time. I don't have to work necessarily but in order for me to stay home we would need to make big adjustments , including moving (which isn't the end of the world I know and def something we are talking abt ).

Next, DS is an awful night time sleeper . He was great from 3 to 4.5 mos, awful til 6 mos, STTN all last week and then the last 2 nights have been brutal. Idk if its his shots from Friday or the fact that we got in a small car accident sat (someone hit us while we were stopped in traffic- we are all ok thank god) or everything else his 6 mo old little self is facing. Whatever it is , he's so off and we are so tired . There is no real point to this other than I feel like I'm reaching a breaking point and not sure where to make changes first. i feel like i need a day to myself to totally veg, but when i think about a day without ds i get sad bc i barely see him all week i dont want to be away from him the only time we get together. When i want to quit work i think about all the things we would have to give up, not just material things but my 401k and saving substabtially for college, etc. i feel like no matter what its a lose lose situation . Thank goodness for a loving and supportive DH.. And for wine ...

Thanks for listening !

    That is really so hard, I feel for you! I understand what a hard decision that would me to make and you have every right to feel stressed. Like DC said, you just have to do what's right for you and your fam. Huge sacrifices either way so I get how difficult it must be for you.

    Ditto DC. Staying home comes with it's own sacrifices as does working. You and DH just have to decide which ones you're willing to make. All else will fall into place when you're where you're supposed to be. So sorry you're so overwhelmed and stressed. Hoping you figure it out soon. :::hugs:::

    Thank you so much ladies. DS must know what a basket case I am and felt bad bc last night he went down at 8 and was still sleeping when I left at 6am. Only one wake up at 430, I gave him the paci and he was back out.

    When they say after children your life just isn't your own anymore they weren't joking. Time for some serious soul searching here. Wish me luck!

    Could you possibly go part time at your job or find a similar job part time? Then you wouldnt have to cut back so much on savings and you would get more time with the baby (and for yourself!)
