I'm getting sick of this

[lil_miss_understood]

Nursing all.the.time. Seriously. Nurse ds3 for half an hour, finish, nurse ds2 for half an hour, finish, do something for half an hour. DS3 wants to nurse again.
UGH!

eta: This is not a post asking for advice along the lines of "wean". I am not looking for permission and I actually do not appreciate. I would appreciate whatever support or advice you might have though.

It *should* get better with time- DS 3 will nurse more efficiently and less often. That said, I have a 19 onth old and a 5 month old. I totally understand. Vent away!

No real advice, just and

Oooh. BTDT.
Its a tough row to hoe but it does get better A lot of "I can make through today/this nursing" w/e, went on at my place. Sadly, I ended up weaning my oldest child after awhile, but a tooth infection was more the culprit.
Doing stuff in short spurts became a habit too (check out my bedroom, I just rearranged it in 15 minutes, I'll pick up the mess later )

Ugh. I feel you. Only because I remember with my first two kids, and now I will be you in just a few days (nursing two). It is so hard, but honestly, it *does* help to vent and complain just like you did do. My best friend IRL and I love to complain about hard things with our kids because we know that although it is hard, we are doing the right things.

So I am going to tell you: you can do it! Try to de-stress whenever you can: a bath, takeout pizza, watch TV all day.

While you are sitting (or stopped, at least) nursing, plan the activities you need to do next. Oh, also I just remembered that it will be warmer soon, and that will help a lot in terms of being able to go out more.

My kids are sick right now, and this is just a hellish day. Jacqueline, I think this is the most unhelpful post I have ever written, but I had to respond. You are doing great, and I do think the change in weather will help -- it is all that is keeping me holding on!

Another tip: I have a fantasy project that I "work" on as sort of a treat when I can't get up. I am trying to find some fabric to make some bedroom accessories and drapes and all that. So, when I have to sit down, I just search and search for the perfect fabric. I browse ravelry for interesting patterns, I check out mothering.com (of course!).

Also, this:

a confession: I wish I could nurse my two big kids right now because they are so sick! At least my younger boy will get to nurse his illness away in a few short days when I have my baby!

BTDT. I agree it may get better. My DD2 nursed all.the.time for the first year. I almost lost my mind! She'll be 2 next week and nurses about 4Xs a day now.

Thank you for the support, sympathy and empathy. It makes it a little more bearable.
I don't have any desire to wean right now, the thought makes me sad, but it's so hard when I have so much that needs to be done and most of my time is spent nursing!
