  My FFFC is that I received an email as a reference for a friend/previous coworker the other day and I still haven’t filled it out. I feel terrible. I love this friend and want her to succeed, but every time I’ve had any down time the last two days I’ve been too exhausted to write something good for her. I have to do it today because I don’t want to be the reason she doesn’t get the position

  I'm about to pour myself two ounces of wine once I get my daughter down to bed. God love her, this kid has driven me absolutely crazy the last two days. It's 9:30 pm but we had a basketball game tonight (unlikely big win, yay! And she was the cutest, most charming little thing the whole game...until we got to the car and she went right back to trolling me) so I won't have her in bed for another half hour. I'm currently typing from the toilet because MAMA NEEDS A MINUTE. And I have half a bottle of my favorite rosé still in the fridge, and a little glass of that has my name on it.

  I feel like I can rant here, me and SO seem to be on 2 different pages. He is so back and forth with everything. Sometimes I wonder if it would be easier to just co-parent with him than be with him. I love him to death but he is so all over the place I never know where I stand and that constantly stresses me out lately. we both have had faults in our relationship but it feels like it’s all on me to fix them now. Just exhausted today from trying to fix something that I can’t control (waiting on something from the government) but it’s my fault it’s not dealt with yet

  @estadt I’m sorry you’re dealing with that. I know what it’s like to feel like differences with your SO are insurmountable. Pregnancy makes it all even more stressful because you’re like “I’m about to raise a child with this person, we have to figure out our problems.” We did couples therapy when I was pregnant with our first and it really helped us get on the same page. marriage is hard, life is hard, raising a family and creating a home are hard. Communication and commitment are the only way to manage it all, in my opinion. do you feel like you can communicate with him effectively? sorry if any of that came off as unsolicited advice

  @ccmrc143 we are currently in couples therapy and it is helping. But I just get frustrated with the back and forth constantly lately. There has been extra stress lately which isn’t helping. Our communication has improved but still something we are both working at. When I get to a point I shut down which has been a struggle to work through
