Just needed to write this out…

I don’t think my husband quite understands how I’m feeling.
I am four months postpartum with our second (our eldest is 3.5) and we’ve just not had a great day week of sleep for anyone…

There’s been alot happening with wakes up with both kids, sickness, clingyness and parental preference (swapping constantly) as well as hospital visits with our youngest due to UTI and kidney reflux which we are managing with the hospital.

Last night broke me…I think i got a total of 2 hours sleep across the whole night, my husband took both girls to his parents for the day so I could rest which I did…but I’ve woken up from a nap just still feeling drained…I can’t explain it, it’s just like no amount of sleep will fix how depleted I feel…

I’m so tired…

Eating out

I have an 11 week old and I miss going out with my husband, even just for a coffee. My daughter is a very chill child but I still struggle to plan and make it work. When did you start going out with your children? Coffee/lunch? I can leave her with her grandma but would like to know when it will be possible to take her with us.

Upset

I’m really upset right now and I need someone to tell me if I’m overreacting. We have been spread so thin lately with money as my child’s father has been awaiting his new job to start. I work hard everyday, make sure bills are paid and make sure my son eats with hardly $1 left when it’s all said and done. My son wanted pizza today and although I made one I realize we had ran out of shredded mozzarella. As a quick fix I put a cheese slice on my homemade pizza to make it work. Next thing I know I’m being griped at and told I need to “think before I act” because sliced cheese looks disgusting. I honestly did what I could….. that hurt me so bad. It may not be that deep to some but what an asshole to come say that to me when you’ve been unable to contribute for months.

Am I Overreacting?

so my father in law came around today he constantly tries to give us parenting advice when he wasn’t around for at least 10 years.. clearly, he has no idea what he’s on about so after about a 20 minute rant on how to parent, we were talking about how im getting induced on tuesday and he asked me if i was excited to have my “old body finally back” to which i replied with “sorry?” and he said “most women are excited to get their body back, we’ll not exactly as they’ve gained weight and have definitely changed, so are you excited??” to which i just looked at my fiancé and uncomfortably laughed it off as i wouldn’t even expect my own mother to say something like that..

then as he was leaving he was talking to my fiancé and he said “women take over everything, you just have to sit back and let them do it or there will be a problem” it wasn’t aimed at me i don’t think but i do think what he has said is awfully rude.

he’s quite a large man and has diabetes, i never comment on it, he’s mentioned loosing weight and i’ve never said “and how are you going to feel being slimmer” it’s just odd to me how you could say that to anyone.

i don’t want him around me during postpartum now as it’s clear what type of human being he is, god knows what he’s commenting on next!!
i’m also mad at my fiancé for not saying anything whilst i was clearly uncomfortable with his fathers comment.

Eating out

Does anyone find it a challenge eating out ? My little one is 15 months and we’ve always taken him out to dinner with us since he was able to sit in a high chair. Obviously now that is he is walking etc but will refuse to sit in a high chair when we are out. He just wants to run around. We don’t want to stop talking him out but we are at a loss of how can go out without him running around causing chaos in the restaurant. Should we just accept this is normal for this age range lol

School shoes

My little girl start school in September and i am not sure where the best to get her school shoes

If you have to choose would you:

1- buy w cheap pair, but you know you will have to buy a couple more during the year
2- buy expensive, but it will last a good amount of time before you need to buy another pair

Getting a divorce

Been w this man (😒) for 4 years only
Married since sept of last year. I’m completely done he complains about having to come home and help around the house after work but will get off of work at 4-5 and go straight to playing basket for 4 hours but he’s oh so tired when he comes home
I’m tired of hearing him complain about having to be a fucking man .
It’s this among many things that are just piling up I should have been left.

He stated that I NEEDED him and basically I’m nothing w out him
