Rough Day..Need some support.

jennahkross · October 2015

Not sure if this is horomones or what, but I had a rough day today with my LO. I am just tired of feeding and changing diapers...I feel like that's all I do all day. Then my husband comes home, and leaves for the gym and I am trying to get my 3 year old through dinner, bath, etc and all three of us end up crying! I am not sure how to get out of this rut!
Anyway I just wanted to reach out to a group of mom's who may understand!

Personally I would discuss it with your dh, if he wants to go to the gym he can go after bedtime routines are done or do some working out at the house until things are more manageable. But that's just me.

I have days where I feel like that too. I feel like all I am is a walking milk machine/diaper changing combo. Those days are hard but a new day always comes and my baby does something cute and I'm back to being a happy mom. The thing that really helps me when I feel like this is to get out of the house. Go shopping or take a walk. It helps me clear my mind and usually people stop to talk to me and ask about my LO. Talking to people really helps break up the day.
It might also help to talk to your husband about building in some breaks for you. If you have the baby all day, then maybe he could come home while you go out for a bit. Or maybe he could skip the workout and go on a walk with you. (Or do the workout every other night).
Just make sure that you speak up if you are feeling like this all the time.
Hang in there and know that you are not alone!

I agree with PP. Get a break for yourself. A change in scenery will help you get out of the rut. Talking to DH is a good idea too. Maybe he could help more with the older kid.
