Cannot get myself to care...(vent)

BuckeyeWife07 · September 2013

Right now, all I want to do is sleep and, for the life of me, I cannot get myself motivated to care much about the million things I have to do at work or the housework and such I have to do at home. I make myself do the bare minimum, but I'm seriously dragging. This is number three for me and I swear it's worse than bee this time around! I'm saying a little prayer that the second tri (technically next week) brings a little more energy and motivation!!

This is me exactly. I'm half assing everything and get more annoyed at the lack of assistance I get. My kids are 14, 12 and 10 and my SDs are 15 and 10. I really should have more help at their age. Dishes all over, shoes left in the hall. Bikes out front instead of put away. I just can't keep up. And for the first time I can't even try. I'm 14w3d so just inside 2nd tri and my nausea isn't 24/7 anymore. Mostly just evenings now but the fatigue is still alive and well. Let's hope for that energy boost to kick in ASAP!

I totally understand, In fact I just got off the phone with H, he is off today and I totally bitched at him that I need help, I am on modified bed rest, which means I can go to work and then home but am supposed to be sitting or resting most of the time. I NEED HELP DAMMIT!

Same here. I really don't want to take a shower most days, but I will if I have to leave the house.

Oakvillemomof3+1: I'm sorry your kids aren't helping. By 13 years old, I would cook dinner and vacuum every other night. I'm just saying, there is no reason with 5 kids ages 10+, that they can't help out. Crack that whip momma!

I know the feeling I really toto catch up on housework but my daughter has had a cold and been up in the night. We are watching tv an I'm really trying not to fall asleep!

Don't feel bad! I was a zombie my entire first trimester. I looked around the house one day and realized there were dishes piled in the sink, laundry piled everywhere, the house hadn't been dusted or vacuumed in a long time, the bathrooms needed serious attention, etc. My husband helped quite a bit, but he works and commutes so there was only so much he could do. Eventually I got up and took care of it, and now that I'm in the second trimester (14 weeks) I am able to keep up with these things regularly as usual. I guess what I'm trying to say is cut yourself some slack! The housework isn't going anywhere and if you need to rest, rest. You'll get your energy back soon enough

My give a damn is busted and has been for about 12 weeks. Even at 14 weeks I'm still so tired that thinking about getting stuff done makes me even more tired. I did clean the bathroom today, but I'm still in my pajamas. Gotta work up the energy to go take a shower.....

In the same boat. I've practically been in bed with HG for almost 2 months. My angel of a momma came over last week and cleaned my entire house otherwise it would still look like a disaster. Taking a shower is ridiculous! How did I not realize before preg exactly how much energy it requires?!

Last night I got fed up with my 15 year old and took his cell phone. I told him he could have it back when the dishes were clean. He moved a lot faster when I told him I'd be personally responding to any text messages while he was busy.

Me exactly! DH commutes over an hour (one way) at least 4 days a week. My mil is coming in from New Zealand for a 3 week visit next Thursday, and my to do list is not getting checked off like it should....

This is me usually, but of course since I have to take it easy today since I had surgery yesterday, all I want to do is clean, organize and everything I shouldn't be doing.

Excitedmum35 · September 2013

I'm 17 weeks and I still feel this way. Thank god I'm on vacation right now and my mum is with me so she is cooking!
I work full time and have a five year old but I swear I have done basically no housework for the pregnancy so far. DH does some bit he isn't very good at it!
Hoping I get energy soon!!

Same here. It's just lovely.
:-q I'm really trying to enjoy the naps though because I know soon enough, I'll be praying for one.

Oh a nap sounds so amazing!

Man am I glad I am not the only one. Even though I'm in the 2nd trimester and my all day nausea is gone, I don't feel like I have the energy to do anything. I feel like I need to get my butt in gear but all I really want to do is lay on the couch and play Xbox.
