Me siento en una apatía enorme :(

Tengo un bebe de 16 meses, un niño muuuuuy pero muy activo, ni siquiera las pantallas lo entretienen. El quiere subir, escalar, jugar..
en cambio yo, hace poco migre de mi Mexico a USA 🇺🇸 para un futuro mejor. Futuro que no aún no veo 😞 muchas cosas que pagar, todo súper caro $$, mi barrera con el idioma, me siento estancada, sin conocer a nadie. Eso ha echo que pase días encerrada en mi casa, ni siquiera para sacar la basura. No se me hace justo para mi hijo, que está en su etapa de explorar, probar, conocer.. y cuando planeo una salida a un parque siento un poco de ansiedad social.. y en mi mente digo “hoy no, pero mañana ya tendré fuerzas y saldremos”
Quisiera reiniciarme y hacer todo bien desde el principio 😕 ya me canse de ser una mamá débil 🙁

Animo bella, las cosas van a mejorar. El no va estar pequeño siempre. Aprovéchalo al máximo. Estas haciendo lo mejor

Donde vives ?

Lo mejor que puedes hacer es disfrutar la etapa de tu bebé los niños crecen muy rápido disfrútalo tú puedes 🤗 poco a poco .

Yo tengo twins 17 meses y también súper activos ánimo si podemos … en que area vives ?

Creeme que no eres la única que pasa por eso simplemente algunas nos quedamos calladas ... Ánimo tu bebé no siempre tendrá esa edad y cuando crezca ni te acordarás de lo difícil que fue es una etapa simplemente.
Podrías comprale cosas que tengan dificultad o que lo entretengan mucho o simplemente agarra un Topper/caja mete muchas cosas y que tú bebé las saque ... Agarra tapaderas, cucharas cosas así y meterlos en cajon o caja y el solito se va a entretener a mi eso me ayudó pero igual si sácalo a parques eso también le hace bien

El salir te hace bien, incluso algunas emociones son reguladas por la vitamina D que nos da el sol. No es fácil te entiendo yo también sentía lo mismo más cuando uno no tiene amigos ni familia.

Entiendo así mismo me siento con una bebe de 3 meses y una niña de 3 años 🥹

Te mando un abrazo. Yo en un momento estaba tan agotada que no quería jugar con mi hijo y , era una sensación horrible me sentía súper culpable... Pero me permití validar mis emociones llorar y desahogarme y fue mucho mejor. Son etapas que pasan. Un abrazo mami tú puedes!

Is this normal?

Is it just my husband that does this? He is able to work from home via his computer and in the mornings and evenings he is on there doing his job. When he is done for the day he tends to stay in the room and either play video games or watch something. He will occasionally come out and play with the girls for a few minutes and that’s it but when I really need him he says he is busy. My daughters are both 1 year old now and I am just wondering how much involvement should he have with them now?
Idk if this is the norm or not…..

Saying NO to buying toys etc

5 year old is getting really envious of others. He is obsessed with items that other kids have at school. I am pestered daily to buy these things in a different style when we already have 3 others. I have seen parents just buying stuff their kid likes which I don't necessarily agree with even when i can afford it. How do you deal with it?

Thoughts?

your soon to be brother in law (upon inquiry) told you that only a few kids from the family were attending his wedding because they are over the age cut off..

Tablet for kids

Alright don’t need any negative Nancy’s telling me not to get my 2yo a tablet so if that’s what your gunna do please don’t participate in my poll.

We’re about to move cross country 3+ day trip and my 2yo and 9m hate the car I’m talking scream their heads off till they are out of their seats. We’ve already changed car seats and it didn’t help so I’d like to at least have one entertained and sit next to baby and try and distract her or put her to sleep. Our new car has tvs but since they are rear faced my 2yo can’t see it.

Debating getting her a tablet or dvd player right now on long car rides I end up giving her my phone because I get so overwhelmed sitting in between both of them screaming and crying.

And yes I do bring different toys I bring snacks I play songs try to distract her other ways but for the sake of not losing my mind on this move I think this is best.

-A very overwhelmed and anxious to move mama 😓

Daycare?

Thoughts on daycare?? Truly, I am SCARED to be leaving my kid for daycare. I literally do not trust anyone, not even family (they haven’t given me a reason it’s just trust issues on my end, you never know). He’s turning 3 and I’ve been a sahm the whole time but tbh my man doesn’t make enough for us to move out somewhere more calm . We live in a ‘not so safe’ area in LA and I’m just not used to living here so I just want us to give my son a better life and in order to speed up the process I would have to work.. I do lashes at home and I’d be open to take new clients so I wouldn’t have to look for work but I’m just scared to lose my license 😭

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.
