just a rant

i am a sahm of a 2 year old and a 12 month old and i just have to get it off my chest…… i am starting to hate being home with my kids everyday.. i can’t go anywhere, have no friends and live far away from family. them being in my face 24/7 is starting to make me irritated with them, even when their dad is home they dont even bother him they’re still in my face all day. i know people are gonna think “you should appreciate the time you do get to spend with them” “you’re their safety and comfort” blah blah yeah i get it. but it doesn’t mean i can’t be overstimulated with the mental load put on me. on top of their dad being the most lazy mf ever who can’t clean up after himself and expects me to do everything for him too i do not want this life anymore. i do not want to be a sahm i do not want to clean up after 2 kids AND grown ass adult. I AM TIRED. and i haven’t been happy in such a long time, everyone looks at me like im a bitch now but this is not who i was 3 years ago before i had kids.

Firstly I want to say I know how you feel. I have a 4 year old, 1 year old, and pregnant with my third. I feel overstimulated constantly with my babies +the toll of being pregnant while taking care of the other two. My husband works a lot so I’m ALWAYS with my babies and no one ever watches them. All they know are my husband and I . I can suggest joining a church, keep you busy and you can grow a closer relationship with God. Also do you have a car? Me taking my littles to the library or park or just going for a ride helps me mentally. Just to get out the house is a PLUS. Also if you want to reach out to me I can talk anytime. It’s a lot being a mama ESPECIALLY a mom to multiples but us mothers have to stick together!

I kinda went thru something like this too I just kind of started going out even if it’s just to target or anywhere just shops and places during the day (with my baby of course) and I started really trying to incorporate even just one thing that I like and enjoy doing into our days and just trying to do more things for me while taking care of her I guess if that makes sense it’s helped a lot honestly. I love my baby and taking care of her but I definitely went through that stage too. It’s hard but just remember you deserve to have friends and a life too just try to really focus on setting time aside or ya know just finding time to take care of you 🖤 you’re not a bad mom for wanting that and nobody should make you feel that way

I feel ya going through the same and I only have one my support system fell through so couldn’t go back to work… but I think I am crazy because I want another baby ughh lol

I think you have to be the major bitch to your partner in order to not be a bitch overall. 😬

I remember these days and we didn't have internet back then or playdates. Mom's would write each other and exchange letters and photos or make an occasional phone call after 7 pm when rates were lower. I had two babies 14 months apart. Now those babies are 33 and 32 and I wish I could go back for a day or two...but that's it! It's a lot of work but please try to enjoy it and make some memories.
