sooooooooo stressed out need to vent!!!  

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I don't know how the heck I got through this with my first dd, but my 2nd is teething. She had me up all last night hollering at the top of her lungs and there was just nothing I could do about it! She didn't want to nurse, no sling, no cuddles, no swing, no bath, nothing would satifiy her. I just had to hold her and rock her until she passed out from exhaustion. It kills me when she is in pain.
My dd 1 (2yrs) has been somewhat forgiving of my lack of motivation today, but come the afternoon, who knows what to expect.
I am nuts about my kids, but for God's sake, I am flippin out!
And my dh, who gives 100% all the time, just really irked the heck out of me. I feel awful for asking for his help at night, because he works, but so do I for crying out loud! I get so angry sometimes and slam things around just so I know he's not getting any sleep, like me! Isn't that awful?
Now today, he left the house without kissing the kids goodbye- and that makes me crazy! He always does it! What the heck is up with him? Could it be his lack of sleep also?
WELCOME TO MY WORLD BUDDY!
My boobs are burning and hurt so bad, my back hurts from the darn sling and constantly sleeping in a crooked position to accomodate the crew in bed!
My neck is sore, and I really don't feel like cooking another darned thing in this house. My house is a pig stye and I can't seem to wrap my arms around it. I find no time to clean, do laundry, or even bathe for that matter. We havent been on a vacation in about 2 + yrs and our only plans this year are going to my IL's for Easter! We are so in debt and dh and I havne't been "together" in what seems ages!
This is baby # 2, and we want more?!?!?!? Are you kidding me????? Am I doomed to a life of suffering for the sake of the family? When do I get a break? When can I have a few minutes to myself? I want a massage, A night out with my girlfriends, a glass of wine for starters!
Okay...deep breath. I don't feel any better yet...
ARRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH :

I was right there with you a few days ago. The teeth are giving us a little break, and we are all in heaven, bracing ourselves for more hell. Good luck mama.

My husband slept with the baby the last two nights as well to help me recover. I am sure your guy wants a happy rested wife. If he's not a surgeon , see if he'll do it.

It is so hard to function when you are tired. I hope things are a little better. With nursing, its not like you can get any break at night, even if your DH helps. But maybe while she is crying like that he can take her for a bit while you rest. Taking turns may help you keep your sanity! Good luck to you!

First of all....
I really feel for you. I recently posted in toddlers because I just cannot remember how long molars take to come in. It seems like it has been going on slow mo forever.
We have been giving pain killer (infant tylenol) every 2nd night so he can sleep : , also some trading on and off.
Don't know what to tell you.
Hang in there!
