Feeling overwhelmed, rant

I just feel like its to much. To much baby. To much cleaning. To many animals. To much house. To much touching. Not enough sleep. To much emotional. It to cold to do anything. I dont have a chance to sleep in. I dont have a moment to myself. Something or someone always has to be touching me. Sometimes all I want to be is held. I want to cry so much. I want a bath without having to worry about a crying little one. I feel so angry. I feel like im just in a loop that never ends. My house feels like its a mess so I dont want people over. I want people over so I have other intentions other then my mate and the baby. I DONT trust doctor's to get help I've been fucked over by them to many times to trust them. I dont know what to do. I feel so alone even though I know im not. My family is about 7hrs away. I dont trust people to watch my baby. My mate helps when they aren't working. I dont feel like myself, I feel like im in someone else's life or skin. I cant sleep when I want to, no naps. I dont want to eat at times but I force myself to because I have a baby that I have to feed, animals and a mate. When will I feel normal? When will I get a handle on my life? When can I mange all this house and family?

I totally get you, it’s so overwhelming at times. My daughter is 10 years old and has complete meltdowns at times due to her disability, I just want to run away and hide. I feel the same with the house and work plus study it’s just a never ending cycle 🔁

I totally get this, I have a pet that snaps sometimes and my husband is not taking me seriously. I’m with him 90% of the time, I also work from home and it is hard. As the primary care giver I want to rehome him as he would have a better life elsewhere because I’m on edge around him all the time it just feels like I’m waiting for something drastic to happen. I want to talk to someone but after seeing what the docs did to you I’m not sure I want to anymore

Hey! I hope your doing better! This is so relatable and I hope you get to take a moment to take at least 5 mins to yourself.

Take a deep breath. You're doing amazing mama!

Find some play groups you can go to. Get out of the house. Bundle up if its cold. Fresh air is good for you and baby. Movement is also great.

Go for a walk. Its not good for our mental health to stay indoors all day every day.

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.

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 😓

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Baby Food Maker

What’s everyone’s thoughts on a baby food maker? I’m looking to get Baby Breeza or Grownsy. Thoughts? What does everyone like?

Struggling

My husband works and does so much for me and my baby girl. However I get annoyed every time he hops on a video game he usually plays for 1-2 hrs if she's still awake and has like 3+hrs of free time once she goes to sleep (i co/contact sleep). The last time I was able to have actual free time was last month when I tried to turn some onesies into shirts for baby girl to sleep in- and I wasn't able to finish them and haven't picked them up since lol. The only free time I get is while she's napping right next to me where I can't move an inch or breathe too deeply or she'll wake up, or when I shower. Crafting used to be my outlet and now if I were ever to tell him that I need to craft I don't even know what I would do or where to start I just sit there and stare.... just losing myself and I'm struggling with it. Does anyone else feel the same way? What do I do?

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.
