need some help |
| Hi. I have two kids and sometimes having kids just drives me crazy. Well actually it's everyday. I start at seven in the morning and don't finish with them until eight or nine at night (plus getting up in the middle of the night for the baby). I just feel so tired all the time and I feel like I don't have any maternal instinct anymore. It's just gone. My husband is away for work a lot and the grandparents are non existent so I don't get much help. I feel like a slave and my throat is so sore from being so tense all the time. Everyday I get so depressed. I try to tell my husband how I'm feeling but he just says 'well what do you want me to do about it!?'. Am I the only one to feel like this? Am I really depressed or is this just normal to feel this way when you have kids?

| I think your feelings are normal. I know many people that have felt how you do. I would try getting a baby sitter at least once a week. This will give you a break...(even if it is just to do the shopping). A little time to de-stress is good. Also by getting a baby sitter the children get some time to socalize with other kids. So it is a win win situation.

| You are definately not alone!!! I have 4 kids.. (ages 10, 7, 17months, and 5 months) The older 2 are sooooo difficult right now.. they don't want to mind, and they fight all the time... I am also going crazy. It would be nice to get out.. but my problem is finding someone to watch 4 kids... it is near impossible. My 17 month old is into EVERYTHING. Just wanted you to know you're certainly NOT alone.

| maybe Your husband and You would be willing to get a job that wouldn't make him be gone so often.. soem tiems its best for the children and the mother to have the father/husband at home at lest a nights. And soem tiems churches in the area will/would be willing to help out some.. ? hope this helped.. =)

| Just asuggestion but instead of hiring a baby sitter try and start a baby co-op where you and other parents help relieve each others stress by watching each others kids on days when you could just lose it they take them for a couple hours and vice versa. The other thing my mom used to take a friends children once a month for the weekend and they would pay her and it gave them a weekend once a month just to reconnect and enjoy parenting
