I feel like pulling my hair out....my vent out...Submitted by hollygolightly on Tue, 05/13/2008 - 12:22am.
My 3 yo is screaming at the top of her lungs because she does not want to go to sleep but has been a sh*thead all night; really unacceptable behaviour. Trying so hard not to lose it while taking care of my 2 yo who has a high fever. Shit, this stuff is tough....breathe, breathe, breathe. Okay, vent mamas, thanks for listening hollygolightly's blog | login or register to post comments | email this page | printer friendly version
I can't imagine taking care of 2 toddlers... that must be tough! I have a hard enough time with DS. And lately I have had many moments with him where it was extremely difficult not to lose my sh*t. Hang in there!!! Good morning! Or rather, good morning? Here's to a new day. I feel ya sister, age 3 is the new 2. I remember throughout Max's 2nd year feeling I had it made... then he turned 3! You're going to get it back to back but then, I hear, 4 is like the year of enlightenment! Hugs to you mama! All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860) My still-needs-a-nap two year old has spent over an hour crying at nap time the past two days in a row. hey holly, sorry babe, i know that it's a high stress night - we've all been there. hang tight, and keep us posted on how your girls are doing. you know what i'm going to say next: i think you're doing a great job managing all of this. family work can be challenging, but you're never alone. love, dc/c a fire breathing/green scaled mistress production! 3 year olds act like psychotic people at times. Just breathe, she can't help it, esp. if over tired. Give yourself time out from her if need be. Once she's asleep it will all seem like a dream. Hang in there, 2 kids under 3, you'd have to have nerves of steel not to lose it sometimes and then you wouldn't have a mother's heart....so just let yourself feel the frustration but try not to act on it. Maggie just kicked me out of my own bed because I wouldn't change my clothes. He told me he wanted a new mommy and to just leave him alone - so i did. he'll be asleep soon and all will be forgotten in the morning. sometimes it's easier than others to ignore stuff - then again, if he'd been screaming uncontrollably, i'd probably be a little more pissed off. nights when he does that, daddy usually goes in and gives him a certain amount of time to get it out of his system then says, now this has to stop or you'll be spanked. that usually works, the allowance to vent. |
I hope you all were able to finally go to sleep and that todays a better day.
