Hi, I’m Angela. I’m unemployed, undervalued, and almost always sleep-deprived. I’m a SAHM with a husband who works nights and sleeps days. I have two boys under 3 years old. One of them has several weekly in-home therapy sessions for speech delay & sensory issues. I have no family that live in my town and very few friends, therefore, very little in the way of a support system.
An average day for me consists of…
… Meals
… Poop
… Disobedience
… Discipline
… More poop
… Cleaning
… Lather, rinse, repeat
It’s a good day when I actually take a shower and brush my teeth. It’s a damn good day if I put on makeup and actually leave the house. It’s the best day EVER when my 2.5-year-old is not having meltdowns and slamming doors every five minutes.
In case you aren’t privy to this fact, I’m a new(ish) stay-at-home Mom, going on 3 months now. I’ve tried to avoid writing this post, for fear of judgement, but to continue to hide away the sadness, isolation and anger I’ve been feeling this past month is not only unfair to myself, but also to my children. However, because this is deeply personal I’m going to require that you are registered and logged in to read the rest of it…

Ohh girl. I’m sorry you’re feeling that way … but at the same time, I completely understand. It’s hard. I remember having those same feelings when my kids were babies, and, truth be told, even though they’re both teenagers now (well, almost anyways), I STILL have those issues. It does get better though. I promise. Hang in there. (((((HUGS)))))

Having no children of my own, I can’t even begin to relate. And I really can’t imagine dealing with all of that either. Heck, I do well to take care of myself and my cat, and feel like I fall short even there. I totally get how you’d feel overwhelmed. You’re a stronger woman than I. I’m really hoping you get some relief.
and a $450 electric bill?! WTF?!
