Hello!
I just joined and have enjoyed reading a lot of the posts. I am a 32 year old working mommy - I have a 3 year old boy.
I am completely in love with my son but wow I am exhausted. I can't keep the house clean, work, etc! My marriage is on the downhill slope, as we never get a chance to talk (although we do find time to bicker)...our toddler is a nightowl.
Looking for some encouragement and the feeling that I am not alone!

Sorry to vent on my first post!!

Suzy

Welcome to MDC!

Glad you could come. Sorry you are having trouble. I know with children it can be really hard. Life is so busy sometimes that we have trouble finding time to work on our marriage. I know I have been there. For me, I guess I just decided that my marriage was top priority in my life, and that I was unwilling to let it fall apart. So I worked hard and am definately on the up swing now.

Finding time to be with my DH really helped. And forcing myself to be "happy" when we had our "time" was a great thing. I found that I was bringing in my troubles to our "time". When I stopped that, I actually began to enjoy our time again (and so did DH). As for the toddler. I understand that too. You might try changing the baby's sleeping habbits. I had to do that. Wake baby up earlier, give shorter or earlier naps, so that baby is ready for bed sooner. It may take a few days or a week or so, but it can work (I know, I had to do it).

Anyways, I know you will find a lot of support here. Hope to see you around.

venting is good...and welcome...it's amazing to me how much a little one can change a relationship...marriage is tough, even without kids...I think you came to the right place for support...all kinds of good people here...
