SAHMs… how are we making extra money without neglecting my mom duties and the house.?

Currently still trying to get a hang of being a SAHM but I was so used to a work schedule that it’s been a struggle trying to figure out something that works for me. But we’re a little tight financially, my husband is the sole provider and he’s been doing amazing but in this economy we have some bad times especially since we’re thinking about Christmas coming up.

He is getting overtime over the holidays so he’ll barely be home. But I’d like to do my part so we could be a little more stable. Even if it’s just a little as long as it doesn’t get in the way of my everyday tasks that need to be done.

Any advice is appreciated even if it’s just how to be able to manage my time better with a toddler and a 9 year old and all the house work.

I think im having a break down 😢

The past 2 days i have felt like im going to have a full blow break down 😢

I have an 18 month old daughter who hasnt been sleeping properly the past 2 nights so ive barely slept.
All day long i feel like a bad mum as i constantly have to tell her no when shes climbing up the sofa to sit in the window or when shes throwing things at my cat or pushing her off.
The cat hasnt always been around my daughter as we had a dog and the cat would stay upstairs out the way but since we had to rehome the dog the cat is down more and she is very needy wanting me all the time but so does my daughter and im just feeling very overwhelmed

Im 20 weeks pregnant so im guessing its the hormones but I feel like im going crazy.
Im exhausted and cant keep up on housework and I struggle to take my daughter out as i dont drive and there isnt much around in the area to do.

I just want to hide in a dark room and cry

I keep getting blamed.

Yesterday, I had virtual physical therapy at 6am. I told my husband don’t disturb me as I woke him up for work. In the middle of the appointment he put his hand in my face asking me to smell a hoodie . I said I’m in an appointment. He said”So”. I felt like that was disrespectful not only to me but the doctor as well. He didn’t need my help, he smoked in that hoodie so yes it stunk. I have a bunch of clean jackets for him to pick from, he didn’t have to disturb me.
My issue is that saying “So” makes me aware that he doesn’t care. I’ve been in pain for a year because of the delivery of my son. It took 3 months of test to get my physical therapy. And every appointment I have, I usually bring my kids because I can’t always find a babysitter. Maybe I didn’t say it right and started yelling, I want some privacy during my appointment. I don’t get privacy any other time of my day. I’m always doing for someone else.
After that argument, I locked myself in the bathroom to take a shower (which I usually don’t get a chance to do alone). The kids wasn’t sleep by the time I finished. He went to smoke for idk how long.
Fast forward to this morning he’s running late because he lost the car key, and blames me for being late. Let me add that he also blames me for not taking a shower last night. He was smoking in the car for at least 3/4hours with his friend yesterday while I was cooking and eating dinner. I’m just tired of be blamed. My love and sexual desire for him is dwindling.

Weaning

I’m so lost with weaning, it just feels overwhelming and we haven’t even started it yet, I don’t know what to feed my baby, or how to feed her, the health visitors don’t suggest purreè anymore, but if my baby has only ever had milk, how will she know how to eat mashed or finger food without choking?
Has anyone else got anxiety about starting? Or had and have now experienced weaning?

Struggling.

Hi everyone! A really random question …

I’m a mum to a 2 year old and in the mornings when I do drop offs at nursery etc I see a lot of mums dropping children at school. I’m already worrying about drop off times and pick ups- school holidays etc

I guess my question is how many of you all work if you have primary school children? Any honest opinions if you don’t?

It’s so hard make it work…

Nursery asked for a meeting

Hi ladies,
Advice or thoughts.
My daughter has currently turnt 16 months & nursery deputy manager asked for a chat before picking her up.
Basically said my daughter is always on the go, they do activities in the room & she’ll do it & shortly after she’ll wonder off & do her own thing & even when she plays with toys, it isn’t for long until she wonders off. Also mentioned sometimes refuses sleep but eventually she does fall asleep.
I did say she behaves the same way at home & if she was trying to tell me my kid has ADHD altho it’s early to be diagnosed such thing until they’re two & she said no, she can be just a busy baby & I said so what’s the point of this conversation🙂
You tell her to put toys away & she will do it, tell her to get something & she’ll get it, call her name & she’ll look at you, ask for a kiss & cuddle & she’ll occasionally do it haha depends how she feels.
Also mentioned my daughter has this “obsession” with one of the staff that she’s always under her feet or cries when the lady leaves the room etc & I said she does the same thing with me, probably her safespace person but I know my daughter can be dramatic with her crying.
She also has a bad habit of getting things that isn’t hers for example phones, remotes, at nursery it’s the radio, thermometer which is something that was mentioned to me today, my response, she’s just a curious baby in comparison to the other babies in the room. For your information, there was at least another two babies in her room who are 18 months which I assume isn’t like her

What’s everyone’s thoughts?
