A Bad Week

[Mumma]

Hi all,

I just need to vent, and wasn't really sure if this was the right place but since I have recovered from PND I thought of here.

I am having a rotten week. My DS was not so DARLING at the start of the week, I had one afternoon that was pure torture. He was unreasonable. Nothing could calm him down. He kept on wanting to do things that he knows he is not allowed and then would go crazy if he wasn't allowed. So that sucked, hugely.

Then last night for NO CLEAR REASON he woke and so I was awake from 10.30 to 2.00 (he feel asleep at 1am). Then he woke at five am and wouldn't go back to sleep. Just terrible.

I just wanted to say it absolutely sucks having children some times. Yes, my son is everything to me...more precious than anything. And we have a wonderful, positive relationship. But sometimes it is just HARD.

I feel like I have reached my limit for sleepless nights (he almost always sleep through now) but I just mean my limit for my lifetime!! And that scares me because I have a baby due in October and I will have to be tired again all of the time. Errrrrrrrr.

Does anyone else have any complaints? Yes, I know we love them, but lets just vent for a bit. Talk about the bits we hate. I need to get this out.

:hugs: to you...

My DD is only 5 mnths, and not sleeping through (waking up to 10 times a night), but since she was born one of the things that have scared me the most, is the concept of having another child....

I wish you luck, and with your husband too...

Hi,
Not much to say to make things feel better...but let you know your not alone.

Mumma, most my weeks are bad weeks lol, I have just come to accept that and when I have a good day...it feels so wonderful!!! Too good to be true!!! lLOL. My DS is disobedient/ defiant at the moment...maybe due to his age but I think more due to his character. He has a wonderful personality but also very strong headed and drives me nuts at one point most days.

Today I packed up both kids in the car and just went for a drive. along the coast..was good for them to get out and for me for time out and the bonus...DS fell asleep!

Well I have the whole new baby thing and thought I wouldn't cope but somehow u manage to get through each day (some times in tears, lol). I think the shock of it all the first time around made it easeier this time. My DS was a terrible sleeper until he was almost 2 years old.

Glad to hear you have recovered from your PND, my sister had it real severe with her first bub ( and no signs with her second which is 5 weeks). It's a real tough thing to go through.:hugs:

:fingerscrossed: we all have a few good weeks coming to us!:)

Hey. I got 2 kids, 4y.o boy and 1y.o girl. Had PND with the first but not the second (thankfully).

Because of the affects of PND, i am now single.

Some days are just so exhausting. I love my kids to bits, i love being a mum, but you get so caught up in 'their routine' you are left with nothing left except exhaustion and thankfully, chocolate!!

My son goes with his dad every w'end (my daughter too young yet). I feel so bad that some weeks i am so glad to get a break from him, he is so stubborn at the moment. Then i wake up on Saturday missing him like crazy!!

I just want time for me. To be able to meet someone new, to have life and it feels like sometimes it is never going to happen, i am just a mummy till they get older!!

There's my whinge for the day. Thanks for giving me place to say it.
