Today has been so unproductive and blah . I can't think of anything I got accomplished aside from LO's care. We walked to the grocery store to get diapers and baby food and LO is finally having a nap while I am back in trackers and a tshirt watching Dr Phil when I should be cleaning or showering.
I feel like I'm losing my mind. I cut back to pumping every other morning, and this is my second day without a pump, and I have scary rage. I don't know if there's something hormonal to this or it's just the pain and discomfort? I don't want to be touched, I'm insanely angry at the toddler for everything, I even yelled at the baby for kicking my chest. The rage is seriously freaking me out. I feel like I barely kept it together when the toddler threw himself in a puddle at the park - normally that doesn't phase me, today I dragged him home and really yelled at him, and it felt like a struggle to keep myself in check.
Has anyone ever felt like this with weaning, or have I gone completely over the deep end? I feel like a horrible person. And I really just want MH to get home so he can take the kids before I emotionally scar them for life.
I'm starting to feel like the oversupply is better than the cure.
No weaning experience so no advice but hugs for you. The kids will be fine. I doubt the toddler will remember. Not like he's yelled at on a daily basis so you have nothing to worry about. Who ever said you'd go all of your babies' days without yelling anyway?
@celticlullaby I went through something similar last weekend. I weaned DS off the boob and there was a day where I was a complete nut bag. It'll pass. ((Hugs))
I was being stalked in a parking lot. Super creepy. Dude kept moving his van, staring and whistling when I'd turn away. He the got way to close to comfort. I yelled "you got a problem?" He shook his head no and KEPT STARING! Then I screamed "keep fucking driving then!" And he left. Seriously one of the creepiest things to happen in a long time. Plus I had LO with me which made me rage harder.
Things like this make me eager to get my concealed carry permit. What if he'd parked and gotten out to do something to you? :-SS

Omg so much pain from moving. I feel bad for complaining because DH has done most of the work, but omg my body. I haven't taken any of my pain meds since I found out I was pregnant, but G only bf at night now so I think I'm going to take some and pump/dump.
@Tferr02 Dod you do a full DITY move? I'm too lazy for that. Even though they kindof sucked at it this time, at lease the movers did the hard work.
Full DITY scares me. We've always done partial for the stuff in our cars, but this time DH wants to do even more. He wants me to drive the SUV pulling the trailer, with the baby and the dog, while he rents a 14 foot moving truck and tows the sedan, with the cat on the seat with him.
I love my dog, but right now I just can't deal with him. For whatever reason, he's started peeing in the house on the carpet about once or twice a week. I don't know why, and I'm losing my mind. He's always had issues with chugging water and peeing a lot, but now I think we need to go see the vet. I feel terrible, but I kinda hope they find something wrong that can be fixed. If this is a new behavioral thing I don't know what I'm going to do. DH is no help with the dog training, and I just don't have the time. ( ~X(
Can I have it? I hacked mine off last year, now I'm trying to grow it back. I wish it were long enough to braid right now, but it's not even shoulder length yet.

@hlm184 full dity's aren't that bad. We have anyways done them and the worst thing to happen to us was blowing out a tire in the middle of no where Canada. We had prepared for that to happen, though. We did the move from AK to the East coast. However, things might be different with a baby and a dog now, so we are considering having the military do it next time.
@mamrotu73 yup full dity, it was our first dity move. DH only had 2 weeks from getting out of school to starting his pcs leave and transportation couldn't schedule that quickly. We already had everything boxed up in a storage unit and it is only a 5 hr drive, so not bad. Unfortunately only 5 hours means it's not really a moneymaker at all. With 2 kids and my medical, we will hopefully never have to dity again. Luckily DH has a friend from recruiter school that got sent here too, so he's coming over today to help with the rest of the big stuff
Lots of hugs @MrsStanton87. Take some time to yourself, remember the reason you love him and then see if the two of you can get out together, just the two of you, and have a talk.

Im jealous of all the mamas that go for Girls Night Out , or do the bubble bathes and wine. I used to enjoy a good drink or two. Vodka and Diet Coke being my fav, or a nice glass of white or rose but ever since i had LO it doesnt matter if i have one drink or five , im hung over and sick. I never had hangovers pre baby
Also I would require more than 2 IRL girl friends for girls night out lol
I might kill my husband before this move is done. I have 2 crying kids, one puking everywhere and the other one getting into everything. DH is supposed to be getting the tv hung on the entertainment center, but instead I find him in the garage, organizing akd putting things in the attic. Seriously?! The house looks like it exploded with 8 million things that the toddler could injure himself on, I am completely covered in baby puke and now is when you decide to do that? I can't handle his lack of focus and his inability to notice the chaos of the kids.
Anyone ever been to Texas de Brazil? Thinking of going there for my birthday dinner but I'm wondering if it's worth the money and if it would be a dick move to bring a baby.
G slept through the night! Apparently moving made him exhausted too. He slept 8pm-7am!
Can I interest you in trading babies? :-?
Dani, don't be mad! At least it's not still in the 80s. We keep getting teased with cool fronts (High's in low 70s, low being in the 50s!), and I'm so ready for that to not be temporary weather!

Definitely worth the money. Unless you are a dainty eater I guess. I would try to find a sitter depending on how patient your LO is, the dinner could be a long one.

@MrsStanton87 what everyone else said, but hugs for you. I totally get it-we aren't fighting but I feel really disconnected sometimes. Like we are just trying to survive most of the time.
Isla hasn't slept normal in weeks and now we have a cold. Tonight we have a wedding and I was super excited to eat and drink and have a night out but now I'm not into it at all. It's the worst.
I will also confess to a lot of lurking because my life is crazy busy and not that fun. Where is bluebird lately? Did she take a break too?
Waiting in the car while DH gets me a cheeseburger the size of my face along with awesome fries and dark gravy . Chicken gravy should not be gravy Mmm F you diet .
DH and I had to have a talk a while back. I need to be more sensitive and loving too. We also need to stop competing over who has it worse. Instead of fighting who has it harder we need to try to help each other more. Good luck
We do the same thing. Competing on who has it worst. I guess we need to have that talk too.
The who has it worst competition is the worst. I try really hard to combat it by just sucking it up and doing something sweet for him when I normally would snap at him, it seems to help me get out of that head funk. I can't shape his behavior but I can remind myself that I adore this turd of a human I pro created with, and maybe remind him too.
Look up "nuzzlehugs" @celticlullaby. I came across them while cruising around Instagram and thought of you. They are pricey but may help or you can do a DIY version.
