Feeling like im at my breaking point

omg, i'm going through the exact same thing except it's not because of snow but because that's just how he is. he's starting to help because i told him how i felt.
I still feel depressed n overwhelmed but i just live day by day, i also smoke zaza so that helps

This is my life 5 days a week 😅 it’s hard when you’re use to help but I’ve figured out a routine. My daughter only contact naps so I can only get stuff done when she’s awake and I only have time to myself after she goes to bed and that’s brief because she wakes up for comfort every hour or so. During her wake windows I cook & clean and by the time I’m done it’s already time to feed her and nap her. I drive her around sometimes just to give myself a break

You’re a first time mama right? Doing things on your own all the time for the first time is hard because you’re still finding your feet. For me, i feel confident when my husband is home knowing that he is there if I need him. I wonder if that’s playing a role too. I have two kids, do 99% of care for my 6m old but hubby does about 65-70% with our toddler. I also work from home with my 6m. Life is freaking busy. You’ll find a rhythm. I hope he gives you a break when he can get home. I’m writing this at 7p, they’re both in bed and I’m opening my laptop to work late into the night 🤣 I can’t complain though because I’m grateful I can be home at baby and still get my work done

Now might be a good time to look into establishing a network of some babysitters

I get it I am the primary while my husband works really hard during the day and then comes home and immediately does school. I just have one baby and IT👏🏽 IS👏🏽 HARD👏🏽. I’m very new to this and am trying to figure out how all these moms on social media seem like they got it all together but it’ll take some time to figure everything out. Give yourself grace and remember grace doesn’t run out! No matter what stage you’re at no matter how easy it may seem for someone else we all struggle and at every stage you will have to give yourself grace. Even if you gotta cry right along with the baby it’s ok you’re doing your best, you got this!

Just got out of a 2 week solo stretch bc my husband was sick and we isolated and then he was away for work. The constant need 24/7 really added up over time! It is HARD! I did put baby down and leave to cry a few times during the home stretch and still am feeling easily overstimulated now. Try to remember it’s temporary, your baby is so happy to have you as their mama, and you will have help again soon!💗

I understand the weight of the mental load of taking care of a kid alone. My husband works from 7am-3:30pm. He leaves in the mornings around 5:30 to pick up his cousin for work then gets home anywhere between 4:30-6 in the evenings. My son doesn’t wake up until about 7 am and goes to bed between 6-7pm. Even weekends my husband doesn’t help much. The mental load is a lot to handle and it feels so hard not to snap when you’re basically running on empty. My son finally stopped taking contact naps but he’s a light sleeper during the day so I still can’t get anything done. It’s hard to do things even when he’s awake because he loves to try and roll off the couch or if he’s in his walker he gets mad when he drops his toys every minute. I have to remind myself that I’m going to miss when my son doesn’t need me as much and push through. After all, they grow so fast. If you start to feel resentment towards your husband, talk to him. You’re doing an amazing job momma.

My husband travels for work so i'm home with our son 5 days of the week sometimes 6. You got this!! I just tell myself this is only a period of time in our life and we gotta make the most of our situation

Girl! My husband works 7 days a week. It’s me doing the work 24/7. I know exactly how you feeling, and it does get better as they become more independent. However, you got this 💪🏽. It’s just a phase & remember your child needs you for everything. I think once I reminded myself that it was all about my child now somehow it made me feel better. Obviously, we all need me time & make sure you get that as well! Stay strong love ❤️ you got this!

Ladies !! Do not do the mistake of letting your husbands get a break when they have off days or get home from work. They have to do their part as a dad as well. Do not feel ashamed or feel bad for them! Ask for help! Ask for breaks! If you don’t ask for them to do their part, it will constantly be you doing everything always. That can drive anyone insane.

Hi! I’m sorry you’re going through that I get it so much it’s very hard. But remind yourself you’re doing great and get out the house get fresh air ! I know it’s been snowing and so on but if you can just leave the house. Sometimes that makes you feel better. Look into maybe hiring someone that can help you at home if possible ? Hang in there girl summer is around the corner 🤍 a little sun will help you and baby. Also, pls ask for help I was always so shy to ask for help. Reach out to friends or family members ! And even women on this app I’m sure someone will be willing to swing by to help!
