Who's stressed out???

[Mama~Love]

ME, ME, ME!!!

First off, DH thinks I can do everything as I did before Abby was born. He gets irritated with me when I don't get the same stuff done. Ummm...hello...we have a new baby here now!! Why is it so hard for him to comprehend that???

And the girls are sick. Hannah has an ear infection & pneumonia, and Kayla has just pneumonia. And Abby is coughing too . I hope she doesn't get sicker. Kayla (almost 3) WILL NOT take her medicine. And it scares me to think how much worse she could get if she doesn't. If it's a chewable,it's not a problem. But this is a liquid, and she WON'T take it!

Our finances are awful as well. We've hit rock bottom, and there's no money for bills since I haven't been able to work much since Abby was born, which is another reason DH is upset with me. i broke down & cried last night after DH left for a work conference. I haven't had more than 2 hours of sleep a night until last night. Got about 5, so I feel a little better today. But now it feels like I'm getting sick, which will just suck because I'll never be able to rest. But if DH is sick, the world stops until he's better : . Wish he would notice my feelings every once in awhile .

That sounds hard. I'm surprised that after having so many kids, your husband doesn't recall how exhausting it is to have a newborn .. especially with other little kids who are sick. I take it you have pointed it out to him.

2 hours of sleep a night- I feel lucky now. Do you have any good friends around who could help you get a nap?

I'm sorry about the finances-- worrying about money is such a rotten thing.

I'm glad you got to vent..it seems to help some times.
keep yourself healthy!
so sorry to hear you are stressed out. things are always more stressed when you get lack of sleep!
hang in there.

i can so relate. i broke down las night bcs i feel dh has actually done less sice the baby was born. don't know if that is actually true but it sure feels that way. He was helpful today so i think breaking down got his attention. sorry yor kids are sick. all 5 of mine were ill over x-mas break and it was awful.
hang in there.

things will feel better when your girls get better--is there anyone who can come over and watch a movie with them, etc. while you just rest?
is there anyone who can cook for you? that just sounds exhausting
