Misery?

Is anyone else just feeling miserable with the day in & day out of parenting? I love my kids, but what a scam… this is not fun!

Every single day. And I feel so guilty about it.

Yep. Today has been awful 😭

Unfortunately yessss it’s truly exhausting 😔

Yep. SEN kid and no support. Can't take him out. It's an utter life stealer

Yes! I’m exhausted.. apparently it gets easier?????

Yes everyday is draining 😪 I just wished hubby didn't work so much I need me time

@Yasmin I've a 24 Yr old and a 21 Yr old. It really doesn't lol

@Alexandra just the support we need

@Kayla yeah. No sign of it though. They say it takes a Village to raise a child. Unless it's one with needs, then it just takes one really strong parent

Literally 24/7. I get so excited to pick him up from daycare everyday and miss him so much and after about 30 mins home I’m counting down till bedtime. Primary parent and 22 weeks pregnant with a one year old is just not it.

I’ve felt that way for periods of time just exhausted with being a single mom for months. But for me it passed. We moved to a new city where we explored together, tried new foods together it was super motivating. But my daughter was 2 turning 3 so it was easy to connect.

@Alexandra 😭

Yes, but I did have a particularly bad night. Even my husband was annoying me, so I awoke disappointed and depressed. It's a good thing that feelings are temporary. There will be happy times sprinkled in there. Even if it's just for a moment each day.

It's so validating to see so many other moms are going through the same struggle! I struggle with this all the time and I always feel so guilty.. 😔

@NiEsha Yes, it does help not to feel so alone in the struggle, like there’s something wrong with you because you’re not enjoying every minute.

Yup... it's so tiring... especially on their days off...😪 I try to take her out because if she's at home... she watches TV... and for her to not watchiTV, I have to play with her ( she's an only child - don't get me started on that either!🤐) I'm exhausted by the end of the day...but the worst part of all of this- there's no appreciation from anyone... all I get are people finding faults with everything I do 😪

@Jyothi I agree. No appreciation. At the end of the day, I just feel like I’ve been cried at, yelled at, complained at, & been solely responsible for everyone’s happiness, yet no one is EVER happy! All I have given is NEVER ENOUGH!

I'm asking my hubby to do more...which I never did before..idk why..maybe I felt like I had to do everything...but the thing with him is that I have to keep asking him to do something...he will not do anything on his own...it's so annoying having to ask him to do something after all these years!!! Argh!!😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

@Jyothi Mine asks, “what can I do to help?” but will also hit me with, “I can’t really do anymore right now,” so I just don’t even ask anymore. Sigh.

@Incognito Same here ... or I have to yell at him to do things .. and I hate doing that 🤐 that's usually the last resort ... If I do yell, at least he does something, but it only lasts for a few days..😅
